Okinawa Karate-Do Uechi-ryu Seisetsu History and Technique 1977 Ltd. 1000, RARE

Description: The contents of this book consist of four parts.Part I is "Karatedo Kata," Part II is "Theory and Practice of Basic Techniques," Part III is "History of Karatedo," and Part IV is "The Okinawan Karate and Kobudo Community. This four-part book is a summary of the past 50 years of Uechi-ryu karate-do and a starting point for a fresh start for Uechi-ryu in the future. Therefore, this book is by no means an introductory book. Particularly, the first volume, "Karate-do no kata" has the qualities of a technical treatise as a result of the concentration of the various techniques of Uechi-ryu. Therefore, in the first part of the book, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with Uechi-ryu karate to a certain extent.The first volume of this book, "The Kata of Three Fights," ends with an article by Munetaka Machida, "A Discussion of Three Fights. This is an extremely valuable article that discusses "Sen," which is the basis of Uechi-ryu karate-do techniques and the foundation of body training, from his professional standpoint as a doctor and from the standpoint that only a person who has practiced karate-do himself can appreciate. The third part of the book, "History of Karate-do," is a special contribution by Mr. Takamiya Takamiya, who teaches at a university, and is titled "History of Karate-do." Using a vast amount of data and a scholarly approach, he presents a wealth of original historical documents never before seen in any book on this field, and presents an in-depth history of karate-do. I am convinced that Takamiyagi's "History of Karate-do" will have a tremendous impact on those involved in this art, beyond the level of the schools. It should be noted that the value of this book has been further enhanced by these two contributed articles. I would like to express my gratitude again to Shigeru Takamiya and Munetaka Machida for their kindness and hard work. As already mentioned, this book marks a milestone in the 50-year history of Uechi-ryu Karate-do. In that sense, this book is extremely important. As human values continue to diversify and we continue to encounter storms of change, Uechi-ryu Karate-do will also continue to change with the waves of the times. However, no matter how much people and times change, I have no doubt that this book will transcend time and people and become the sole authority for the fundamental principles of Uechi-ryu Karate-do. I pray that this book will be an everlasting beacon of truth that will illuminate the future of Uechi-ryu Karate-do, and I hope that this book will be of some help to the development of the Japanese martial arts community as a whole. ※This product is expected to take 2-4 weeks to be delivered.
