richard kim and weaponless warriors
okinawan history and karate history
By Richard Kim
This book is one of the most thoroughly researched histories on Okinawan karate.
Includes rare photographs of the earliest pioneers of Naha te, the empty hand style of self defense.
In his colourful style, Richard Kim, not only gives the reader an enjoyable look at the history of karate, but he is careful to put it into the correct context of time and place. The reader will gain an appreciation for life in Okinawa during karates formative years.
The book also contains three or four genealogy charts which detail the hierarchy and relationships between the original three or four most well known styles of karate.
The final chapter in the book is very deep in its subject matter, Morality in Karate. This is essential reading for all karate and should be read often.
Book is illustrated and contains 112 pages
