Book Review

Title: Karate-do Kyohan
Author: Gichin Funakoshi  
ISBN: 0-87011-190-6
Date of Review: March 1997 Reviewer: Malcolm Bates
Opinion: An excellent 'master text/ with a considerable amount of useful information hidden within the words. The fact that 19 kata are illustrated as the basis of karate-do and little used kihon forms like ten no kata are included makes this a very worthwhile read.

The use of kihon practice from yoi position without the necessity to chamber hand on hip  (ten no kata) is a useful activity for most karateka who wish to make their techniques functional.
