The Original Teachings
of Master Funakoshi
By Gichin Funakoshi
Preface by Jotaro Takagi
Foreword by Tsutomu
Ohshima
Translated by John
Teramoto
Gichin Funakoshi is
considered the father of
modern karate. In th
1920s, he wrote the
first of several classic
karate texts,
culminating his career
with the publication of
Karate-do Kyohan,which
remains among the most
important and
influential works on
karate today.
The Kyohan,however,
evolved from Karate
Jutsu,a much earlier
work. In the formative
writing of the Jutsu,
Funakoshi set out the
philosophy and forms
that would practice and
refine for the rest of
his life.
As the Kyohan's earliest
version, Karate Jutsu
has attained legendary
status. Legions of
enthusiastic martial
arts practitioners have
sought out the original
Japanese version, and
pirated English-language
editions have circulated
for years.
This is the first
official English
publication of Karate
Jutsu. Translator John
Teramoto has gone to
great lengths to
accurately convey the
essence of Funakoshi's
original manuscript, and
has contributed an
informative introduction
and revealing footnotes
that clearly note where
the forms in Jutsu vary
from those of the Kyohan.
Karate Jutsu also
includes rare historical
photographs of Funakoshi
himself demonstrating
the kata, his early
writings in their
original form, and a
foreword by Tsutomu
Ohshima, the founder and
chief instructor of the
Shotokan Karate of
America. |
