Book Summary
Gichin Funakoshi is a legendary figure and the founder of Shotokan karate, the
most popular style of Japanese karate, with millions of practitioners worldwide.
In The Essence of Karate, Funakoshi creates, in his own words, a narrative of
modern karate. He explains the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings and
includes memories of his own training, as well as recollections of other karate
masters and the history of the martial art. He also discusses the importance of
winning without fighting, and the reason why many great martial artists improve
with age. The preface has been contributed by Hirokazu Kanazawa, President of
the Shotokan Karate-do International Federation (and Funakoshi's disciple).
