4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting insight into the Japanese Culture and Karate, 3 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This book tells the story of a British man seeking a Japanese dream, to study the martial arts in Japan. Mr Nicol was a wild youth getting into many street fights, he goes to Japan to learn Judo and Karate. He soon realises he must choose between them; he chose Karate. Whilst studying he learns inner peace and tranquillity, he also meets and marrys a Japanese girl.

This book is brilliant for those wishing to discover the culture of Japan through a martial arts (specifically Shotokan Karate) perspective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard fists and a Cold Dojo, 8 Jun 2007

By	Terry Tozer "TJSKA.com" (Reading & Bracknell, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

An older but an exact copy of "Moving Zen: One Man's Journey to the Heart of Karate".

Mr. Nicole tells about Karate from a Western viewpoint and how it was practiced in Japan after the war, but before it became mainstream in America. He recounts his interactions with the Japanese, some nice, some not so nice, and gives detailed accounts about his learning karate in the cold dojo with a wood burning stove as the only source of heat. His adventure is one that many of us envies but would not attempt, as he did and when he did. In our current day of carpet on the floor, and three inch safety padding, Nicole's book provides a good account of what karate used to be like and should be like today.
