This book, the legacy of the "father of modern karate", is considered by connoisseurs of this art to be the most valuable of what Grandmaster Funakoshi wrote down.
Clothed in anecdotes from his life and framed by an account of the development of karatedō from its beginnings as a secret art to the comprehensive method of education for everyone that we owe to Funakoshi's tireless work, the master lays out the spiritual and educational principles of his art: Principles that are an indispensable part of karatedō if it is to become a PATH to perfection, to mastering the ego.
So this book is a cornerstone for the work of every karateka, but also an invaluable help for everyone who wants to penetrate deeper into the thinking of the traditional Japanese, into the soul of Japan.
