Bushi Jutsu - The Science of the Warrior

Bushi-Jutsu The Science of the Warrior attempts to bridge the gap between the kata of old Okinawa, following the influence of the feudal Japanese militia and that which is taught in todays dojo as effective self-defence. The distressing reality, for most kata bunkai students, is that there is very little real application in the world today, outside Japan. That which is taught as bunkai tends to be Monkey See Monkey Do very few really understand the highly technical and effective nature of this secret part of karate. This book by Andy Paskin and Darren Westwood doesnt just uncover the brutal nature of karate kata application it literally rips the shroud of secrecy from around it and cleaves the mystery from it. The book takes a pragmatic, sometimes controversial and always brutally honest look at modern karate as it is and as it was meant to be.
