4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Isshinryu....., March 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dynamics of Isshinryu Karate (Paperback)

...and that's really all its supposed to be. To really study the art, you must practice it - not read about it. Thus, the book serves as a basic introduction to Isshinryu and reference material to new students and those practicing there katas alike. However, the book pails in comparsion to actually meeting and talking to Master Wheeler about his experiences as a 10th Dan, but the book will tide you over till you can talk to the master yourself.

This book well be very helpful for the person who is able to LOOK INSIDE the authors meaning. Tech of KARATE are not always in front of you, you must talk to your kata ( as the author indicates )in order to understand the application of self defense through the practice of kata.Find this book and enjoy! also look for the first 2 books of collection they will help in your studies...GOOD LUCK !

5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional Isshinryu, April 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dynamics of Isshinryu Karate (Paperback)

Traditional Isshinryu what more can you say.... Use Master Longs books and tapes and you will the learn the true traditional way. Master Long wanted his students to use these books as their text so that Isshinryu would not be changed.... If you are a Isshinryu student you have to get these books,they are great for reference. Use them and Isshinryu will stay traditional. (In Traditional Isshinryu there is only"ONE HEART/ONE WAY")
