[Sama · Rating 4 out of 5]

My karate instructor assigned us this book to read to learn the background of Wado Ryu karate. Being very much a beginner, I thoroughly enjoyed this informative, yet easy to read book. The travel log style was refreshing and I enjoyed learning about the origins of Wado Ryu Karate. I particularly liked the blend of anecdotes, facts about the arts and additional tips on fighting styles and tips for learning katas, especially the comparison between European styles of teaching vs Eastern styles. A pleasant read.
