As a mother of three, I don't usually have or make the time to sit down and review a book. This one is different. It was as if I was reading the story of my son, Dillon. I found The Karate Way to be so realistic, entertaining and educational. Whomever doesn't totally enjoy this book, either has no children or does not appreciate the power of karate.

I just bought this book for my son and it is fantastic, he loved it. He can totally relate to this book. Every parent should get this for their child. A great message for kids, even adults can learn from it. Don't we all feel intimidated with new things? The Author makes you believe "you can do anything, and all is possible".

A great book to read with your children. The boy in the book had a weak self image, and strengthened it through his new activity, that he was reluctant to do. After reading the book with my children it brought on great conversation. Great message and illustrations.

I thought it was written in a way kids could relate to and dealt with normal everyday problems kids have. The boy overcomes his trepidation about taking karate (about doing a new experience that his mom recommends) and finds out that this new activity not only helps him in other ways -- but he has great fun at it. Great illustrations. This is a book you can read over and over and your kids will have memorized in no time.

This is a great little book for boys and girls who are looking for an activity that can be very rewarding in character building, good social contacts and self-assurance.

MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS 6, FIRST RECEIVED THE KARATE WAY AS A GIFT.IT'S A DELIGHTFUL INSPIRATIONAL STORY WITH WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATIONS.I AM RECOMMENDING IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS AS A MUST BUY.

My son enjoyed this book. He takes karate and sometimes he needs encouragement; we bring this book out and read it with him to help with his confidence.

I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD BOOKS FOR MY GRANDCHILREN TO READ OR FOR ME TO READ TO THEM. I FOUND A VERY GOOD ONE RECENTLY IN THE KARATE WAY BY GARY HELLMAN. I GREATLY ENJOYED THE BOOK - BOTH THE STORY WHICH HAS A MESSAGE ON THE BUILDING OF SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND THE DOZENS OF ILLUSTRATIONS, ONE MORE CHARMING THAN THE NEXT. I BELIEVE THE BOOK WILL APPEAL TO CHILDREN AGED FIVE AND UP, AND I PLAN TO BUY ONE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN IN NEW YORK AND FLORIDA. GRANDPARENTS: IF YOU NEED A GIFT IDEA AS I DID, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE KARATE WAY.
