Karate Book The Great Masters of Karate Do

The Great Masters of Karate-Do: A Treasure of History and Wisdom

Herraiz's "The Great Masters of Karate-Do and the Tradition" is an exceptional treasure within Japanese tradition. It is an invaluable resource that illuminates the origins of karate, revealing the rich martial history of the Ryu Kyu islands, the "Okinawa fist" that preceded karate as we know it today.

This book corrects an unfortunate oversight by highlighting the most significant episodes and figures from its "prehistory" as a fighting style. It offers an in-depth and entertaining analysis, introducing you to the history, characters, and wisdom that characterize the legacy of one of the great martial arts styles: Karate .

A Bridge Between Past and Present

In this volume, the reader will find an exceptional document, with analyses and interviews with the heirs of this tradition, the last great masters who experienced the change firsthand: Seikichi Odo, Grandmaster Uehara, Nagamine, and many others. The masters featured in this book, most of whom passed away in the last decade, are the last link to the origins of Karate that every practitioner should know.

Herraiz's pages are a read in one breath and perfectly convey, with clear honesty, the total dedication and suffering that are inherent in martial arts.
