good book that is generally about self-defense is "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin Debecker

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Karate has a lot of good, although general information on Karate.

Funakoshi's book is a good read as well. It tends to deal more with his philosophy towards Karate in general, though.

Those "Idiots" and "Dummies" books are a lot better than they lead on....on all topics. I've read the Karate one and it is very informative.

I agree this is an excellent book, although if you practice another style other than ShotoKan or Shotokai it is just another book for you library

I hear Catherine Pinch is coming out with a good one. Not sure about the name, it's about one of the masters...Darn, I wish I could remember the name for you. I've read excerpts from it and they were good, though more entertainment than educational. Something about someone hating snakes, so a few senior students recommend the younger student impress him with snakes. There's more to it than anecdotes. If I think of it, I'll pop back in.
