Condition:

Excellent Softcover Book! The binding is tight and all 112 pages within are bright white with NO WRITING, UNDERLINING, HIGH-LIGHTING, RIPS, TEARS, BENDS OR FOLDS with the exception of a name and mailing label for a previous owner on the inside front cover. The covers look excellent, but do have some superficial wear, as can be seen in my photos. You will be happy with this one! Always handled and packaged with care!  Buy with confidence from a seller who takes the time to show you the details and not use just stock photos. Please check out all my pictures and email with any questions! Thanks for looking!

About the Book:

Here is a rare book—an informal history of Okinawan karate and its growth, told through vignettes about its most famous practitioners. This rare chronicle is one of the most thoroughly researched histories on Okinawan karate, with rare photographs of the earliest pioneers of naha-te, the empty-hand style of self-defense. An essential addition to any martial artist’s library. Kim, a judo and karate black belt, has studied shorinji-ryu kenpo and is an expert on karate history.
