Nishiyama sensei was 9th Dan black belt when he passed away in recent years. He is Kancho Kanazawa's senior by the way. One of my university club black belts say his sensei says it was the only time he saw Kancho bow to a sensei regarding as a senior :)
Aside from that, Kancho once was not greeted by the attention and Rei/bow of the students in a club in Cork. Kancho proceeded to have them all sit in seiza and lecture them for the whole two hour seminar on Rei, respect, and reasons for ... Read More

As a student and teacher of Shotokan Karate for more than 40 years, this is the first book I have always recommended to my students to read and study along with actual training in a dojo. I believe this was one of the first karate books written in English that focused on Shotokan Karate. Though Master Nishiyama always rejected titles such as "Master" there was no doubt as to his influence of Shotokan Karate in the United States.

Nishiyama's book, along with Nakayama's "Dynamic Karate," are probably the best two books ever done on karate technique, regardless of style. If nothing else, this book is simply a classic, and should be on the shelf of anyone training in Shotokan karate. Nishiyama, before his passing last year, was probably the most widely respected teacher of Shotokan in the world, especially after Nakayama Sensei's death in the late 80's.

Excellent resource for any tradition of martial art. It spends a lot of time on basic stances, hand techniques and foot techniques (including blocking with the feet). Top quality photos (even from above) show good balance and technique. Even after studying the martial arts for over 20 years I found this book to be a wonderful refresher for me. A necessity for instructors to have on the bookshelf at their school.

I've gone back to studying Shotokan after a gap in training of several decades. It's easier when you're 18, by the way.
This book was a useful resource and overview when I started with Sensei Koyama (8th Dan, JKA) in 1968. It's a valuable resource now that I've returned to his dojo in Phoenix, Arizona with a somewhat creakier body.
Sometimes it's easier to watch a dvd to get the idea of a technique. Sometimes it's easier to see sequential photos. And I don't know why; frankly, ... Read More
