BOOKS

A book I would highly recommend is "Karate-do. My Way of LIfe" by Gichin Funakoshi. It's a very wise book and an interesting read written by one of the great masters of karate. It's about the story of his life, the history of modern karate and the philosophy behind it. And many of Funakoshi's ideas remain valid still today.
