Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Must have
A must have for karate stylist. The author did a great job on explaining the meanings of the 20 Principles.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A deeper look at Funakoshi's principles
This book steps deeper into the meanings put forth by Master Funakoshi in his Twenty Guiding Principles of karate. It makes one think more about the spiritual side of Karate as it can be a guide for one's life. An enlightening and must have book for all martial artists

Master Funakoshi stressed that the ultimate aim of karate was not to fight, but to build character. In fact, the very first principle emphasizes this very point. "Do not forget that karate-Do begins and ends with rei." This means mutual courtesy and respect. ... Read More
