Summary:
"A concise yet comprehensive
history
of traditional Okinawan and Japanese
karate
, with biographies of the great
karate
masters This first concise yet comprehensive
history
of traditional Okinawan and Japanese
karate
includes authoritative biographies of the great
karate
masters of the past and the philosophical issues they faced as
karate
changed and evolved. Bringing a fresh understanding to the study of the martial arts, Mark I. Cramer dispels many of the often-repeated martial arts myths as he details the lineages of the modern styles of
karate
and describes the social, cultural, and political events that influenced them. While most books focus on a single style of
karate
or the biography of just one of the great teachers, this book offers a well-researched and detailed overview. By bringing all of this knowledge together in one volume, Cramer--who has trained and competed in
karate
for more than forty years, as well as won numerous awards and been inducted into the USA
Karate
Federation's Hall of Fame--fills a crucial gap"--From publisher.
