2.0 out of 5 stars SORRY, IT'S UGLY AND OLD., June 22, 2001
By 
Joaquim Coelho (Lisboa, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kendo No Kata: Forms of Japanese Kendo (Paperback)
I'd tried to get my hands on this book for years. I tried second hand bookstores all over the world. From Australia to Germany. One day I was in New York in this big japanese bookstore near the Rockfeller Center and there it was. I couldn't beleieve. It was to good to be truth. I bougth it imediatelly. I only opened it back in Europe a week or so after the purchase. My mistake. The book is old, ugly and not that accurate. There's more information in the kata chapter of John J. Donohue's Complete Kendo then in all of this kendo-no-kata... thing. Ok, it's a document. Ok, it's history. Ok, 2 stars.
