Endorsements...
"One of those books you'll keep coming back to time and time again. The wealth and depth of information is mind blowing - full of those 'insight moments' when a sudden realization dawns on the reader. A real MUST BUY and highly recommended!"
- Luke Perry (Karate Teacher)
"In over 50 years of karate training I have collected a very large library of martial arts books. It's seldom that a great thought-provoking title comes along. This is an absolute MUST for every serious traditional karate student. It's eloquently written, with GREAT insight - a very rare find!"
- Lee Norris (Karate Teacher)
"I love reading books that not only give you interesting information, but get you thinking too. It's for that reason that I've enjoyed reading this book. Chris is one of the most thoughtful and eloquent martial artists I know - a great writer who communicates his points clearly and in a way that will provide all karate practitioners with plenty of food for thought. Highly recommended!"
