The Essence of Okinawan Karate-Do presents the teachings of
legendary martial arts master Shoshin Nagamine, founder of the
Matsubayashi school of Shorin-ryu karate-do. Used for generations
as a practical and pictorial guide, it contains over 1,000
photographs to document eighteen classic karate kata (preset forms)
and seven yakusoku kumite (prearranged partner exercises), as well
as basic techniques. This book is a precise and easily accessible
pictorial guide to performance and perfection of traditional
karate. The only book in English with photos of one of the great
prewar masters demonstrating the proper execution of Okinawan
karate, The Essence of Okinawan Karate-Do is a bridge between
karate's legendary past and the practitioners of today. This
intelligent and imaginative text explains the historical landmarks
in the development of style, vividly outlines its leading forms and
techniques, and recalls noted Okinawan karate men of the past,
including the author's teachers Ankichi Arakaki, Choki Motobu, and
Chotoku Kyan.
