bushido_man96 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 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 libraryI agree. I have several of the "Complete Idiot's Guide to (whatever MA)," and they have all been well written. Most of the information is general, but there is a lot of it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yingampyang Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 "shotokan Karate a precise history" , is a very interesting book. i recomend you read it. I think that there is no 1 style , and that to truly become a great martial artist and person you must take information from where ever you can.
