Book Reviews of The Weaponless Warriors: An Informal History of Okinawan Karate
Book Review: A Long Standing Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Kims book provides the reader with some very colorful tales and great historical background on Okinawan karate and its earliest fighters. The book is well written and well sourced. IT's not so deep that you get lost between the pages, although another chapter or two would have been nice. Kim provides some great insights into karate's ethics and philosophys, which many could learn from today. Although first published almost 30 years ago the information is still a reliable source for todays karate-ka.
