4.0 out of 5 stars Ryukyu Kobudo, 6 Oct 2007
By M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I have reviewed both Volume 1 and 2 below since Amazon places this review under both listings and thinks it is the same book.

This book, Volume 1, is required in a library like mine. Espcially since I am a memember of "Ryukyu Kobudo Hozon Shinkokai". The list of katas and the lineage of Taira Sensei is good. It is a little disapointing that almost every photo in the book is of McCarthy himself.

And Volume 2, which I would rate at 2 stars, has good writtings by some of the master's of Okinawan. I bought it thinking it was a continuation of Taira Sensei work (Espically since his photo is on the cover). This book is for those that are interested in all aspects of Okinawan history.
