From long time ago, I am trying to buy this book. In Portugal it is very difficult to do that, so I ask you very kindly to make a new edition of this very special book which is undoubtedly a master piece of karate-do and will add very important knowledge to all student and teacher of this art.

I think this book is the actual "Bible" of Karate. So I want very much to have an exemplar. It's very important for my work.

In my opinion the editor shoul undoubtly make a new edition of this very special book.

4.0 out of 5 stars shigeru egami the way beyond karate; a monument!, May 19, 2001

This review is from: Way of Karate (Hardcover)

ok I reversed the title a bit in favor of Shigeru Egami, that's for one simple reason: het tells more than about karate alone. The book gives a good view on training in the old days without grabbing to some mystical words. He tells his own feelings and give his view on karate. He puts an atmosphere of ancient days in the book. Also it contains a lot of good and precise pictures of karate punching, blocking and kicking techniques. A must for every karate beginner and a good one for expanding your martial arts library!
