5.0 out of 5 stars Bring it Back!!, January 19, 2008
By 
Terry Tozer "TJSKA.com" (Reading, Bracknell, Brighton & Hove, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Textbook of Modern Karate (Hardcover)
This is the most interesting karate text I have. Nowhere have I ever seen a complete analysis of every technique in every Kata of a system such as Okazaki does with the Shotokan Kata.

If you accept the premise that you don't really understand a system unless you can drop somebody with every technique in the system, you have to make sure you know every technique in the system.

In my mind, this is the type of analysis needed of a system by a senior researcher into the study of bunkai. If for the purpose of the template of analysis designed by Okazaki alone, the book is worth the price.

There is a 1997 paperback re-print of this book (apparently?) if you're lucky enough to find a copy of it.

Excellent! A wonderful book. A really analytical research about karate. Congratulations to Mr. Striceviv who had, years ago, a view about a brilliant person: TERUYUKI OKAZAKI a true and fenomenal karate-ka. Fernando A. T. Tavora Fortaleza, Brazil
