Karate-Do: My Way of Life

Rating:
Summary: Perfect for any karate student!
Review: This is probably the most important book for any student of Shotokan karate-do to read, and is extremely helpful for a student of ANY karate style or method. I first read this book when I was beginning my training, and besides Funakoshi's biography already being a very fascinating read, I found the insight into the mind of the greatest karate master in modern history to be extremely useful in understanding what Karate-Do REALLY is. (It's interesting even more still because Funakoshi doesn't really speak much on the spirit of karate-do, but reading about his life gave me more insight into the Do than any speech on the subject probably ever could.)

Summary: Excellet reading for the expert and beginner
Review: Truly a book written with heart. There was so much said "between the lines". Gave a true explanation of what the Martial Arts are really about
