4.0 out of 5 stars A must for all traditional karateka, 28 Nov 1999

By A Customer

This book will be of great interest to all those who wish to understand more about the art of karate. Included in this volume are a biography of Kenwa Mabuni (founder of shinto-ryu), a translation of Chojin Maiagi's (founder of goju-ryu)karate do gaisetsu (outline of karate-do), a transcription of the 1936 meeting of the masters and a excellent artical on the development, essence and aims of karate-do by patrick macarthy himself. For those who wish to understand their art in greater depth I strongly recomend buying a copy of this collection of previously untranslated material
