Karate Do Kyohan: Master Text for the Way of the Empty-Hand - Softcover

Kara-te Do Kyohan is Master Gichin Funakoshi’s gift to mankind. An informed study will reveal that his focus in life was to share his knowledge and the benefits he acquired and experienced through a life of conscious self-discipline rooted in the principles of Karate-Do. This legacy, as is the true goal of Karate Do, is meant to be experienced with mind, body and Spirit. Master Funakoshi’s message is transmitted in these pages through philosophical thought, physical and mental practice methods, and most importantly, with manifest image. Each photograph of Master Funakoshi not only demonstrates the exact form and method of each technique, but is also an archetypal key to the spiritual path he followed and exemplified. This classic Shotokan Karate Master Text has been printed for the explicit purpose of providing an exact reproduction of the complete original 1935 Japanese publication, preserving an historically accurate archive replica in the English language, that can now be experienced and enjoyed by all who can appreciate its significance.
