4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Kyokushin & K-1 Reference Book
I have been training in Kyokushin Karate for over 30 years. There are many good books on this subject, but in Japanese language only. So, I think it's great when informative books like this one becomes available in the English language. It really helps training students understand more deeply this fascinating martial art and it's complexities. Although some of the book is...

3.0 out of 5 stars
A decent book if you're a collector or new to Kyokushin
1. The book is just ok - I give it a 5/10 or in this case 3 stars 2. Lots of pics are really small and borrowed from online sources, low quality 3. Doesn't read very well, some grammatical mistakes 4. Most of the content is stuff you can find on the internet 5. It's more of an almanac of tournament results... probably it's most useful function...

This review is from: The Golden Kyokushin and K-1 Encyclopedia (Paperback)
I have been training in Kyokushin Karate for over 30 years. There are many good books on this subject, but in Japanese language only. So, I think it's great when informative books like this one becomes available in the English language. It really helps training students understand more deeply this fascinating martial art and it's complexities. Although some of the book is the author's opinion, it contains invaluable reference material on both the martial art of Kyokushin and the sport of K-1. The author has made a sincere effort and done a good job. I hope to see more such books in English in the future. Recommended reading. Osu!

It's more of an almanac of tournament results... probably it's most useful function 6. It is a apolitical and does try it's best to not say who is right/wrong after the split 7. Some nice history/lineage info of Kyokushin and karate in general 8. Sticks to the facts and doesn't try to color up history 9. Did I mention the grammatical mistakes? Seriously who was the editor? 10. The book has good intentions, but it ultimately is not very professionally done |
