This book uses many stories to illustrate the points being made, and they are very enriching. Master Funakoshi also writes about some of Okinawan history - which adds some insight into the history of Karate

A 'must' addition to your Master Funakoshi collection. You will want to seek out his other publications and know more about his life before and during Japan's militarist period which brought catastrophy to the country.
