What this book is NOT: A Karate book. What this book IS: A glimpse into a time since passed, a time of great upheaval and societal change, where the very fabric of a civilization was torn only to be rewoven in an entirely new light, and the struggles of one man, who would recover from his downfall to become one of the most celebrated Karate masters of Okinawa. Come on in and experience the history of Karate in a manner you never even imagined possible!
