Hi Patrie
I have those two books as well. You will find that the kata are different to what the 'JKA' style clubs need you to perform these days and some of the names are different, such as Kwanku instead of Kanku. They are well worth reading though and a good cornerstone of any traditional karate practitioners library. Particularly if your style is Shotokan but even for others that stemmed from the same roots...

Subject: Re: [KOJF]Karate-Do, Gichin FunakoshiYes, that is the book. Although I would also like to get two other books that I have seen by Funakoshi, Karate-Do Kyohan and Karate-Do Nyumon, but I will probably wait for a while to get those.In a message dated 6/6/2005 8:39:57 A.M.

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.RegardsMalcolm
