## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enlightening
*by P***L on 12 May 2021*

It's an incredible book. I started studying shotokan karate in the 80s and graded under the Japanese sensies Enoida and Ohta, trained with all the big names from back in the day, other Japanese from the JKA and the likes of UK karate pioneers like Dave Hazard, Frank Brennan, Terry O'Neil etc. So I thought I knew all the traditional shotokan techniques, then I read this book and there is stuff I'd never heard of, like Funakoshi says you shouldn't curl your index finger with the rest of your fingers when making a fist?!?!?There is lots in this book which shows how much has changed in shotokan since karate was first introduced to Japan, a worthwhile read for any Karate Nerd.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full translation of the first (1933) edition of Kyohan
*by C***S on 30 October 2024*

Nicly presented and well translated.Used for research into Hironori Otsuka and wado ryu karate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good
*by S***S on 6 February 2024*
