### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nakayama's Introduction
*by  on Reviewed in the United States September 10, 2010*

I had already seen this book far before I purchased it and knew of it's quality.First off this introduction section is phenomenal. I really love the stress on karate as both a physical and spiritual developement, not just a form of fighting. My original dojo felt like a discipline, without any real stress on how to fight and many dojo's I've seen or visited stressed either a 'strike first' mentality or a militaristic combat perspective with no emphasis on the discipline and spiritual developement. The introduction of this book stressed the simultaneous developement of both the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect.So far the rest of the book has been pretty well structured and shows what I would call 'in-depth' photos and sketches of how to achieve a mastery of the fundamentals.If you are serious about karate, or any offshoot of martial arts, this is a must have. From my experience training with a Sensei can be limited and potentially infrequent (with my busy schedule) so when I have a question or am looking to polish my technique without more experienced martial artists present, this book (along with the others from this series) is a must have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for any karate student!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 18, 2011*

This book was required reading for me to obtain my brown belt/Senpai title for my karate class. I wish I'd read it sooner, and I read it twice through within a week. It's a must read for anyone wanting to hone their karate skills and training, and makes everything "click". The pictures are extremely helpful and explanations are thorough and easy to understand. I will have both my children read this book as well while they are in training.
