RE: [KOJF]Karate-Do, Gichin Funakoshi

Hi Patrie

If this is the one karate-do-My Way of Life, then yes. I read it first in 1996 according to my study log. It is a book I encourage others to read to understand better about master Funakoshi and his attitudes. I found it a very 'human' story.

Regards

Malcolm

I was wondering if anyone had ever read this biography by the master himself. I haven't read much of it yet but it looks to be really good and I would recommend it to anyone that studies any Okinawan Karate or any related styles. I'd also suggest reading his Twenty Guiding Principles of Karate, another wonderful book.
