Karate Master: The Life and Times of Mitsusuke
Harada by Clive Layton |
Reminiscences by Master Mitsusuke Harada by Clive Layton |
The voice of the mountain Dragon Practising with HARADA Sensei by Bernard Mathieu |
|
An absorbing Martial Arts
biography along with a wealth of training wisdom, previously
untold facts, vivid insights and many fascinating anecdotes from
the early days of Japanese Karate. Master Harada's Karate authenticity is unquestionable, how many martial artists can lay claim to being a former personal pupil to Gichin Funakoshi the founder of the Shotokan School, and Shigeru Egami the innovative chief instructor of the Shotokan Dojo. Harada, a true master in his own right, tells his story in this captivating book. |
One of the last disciples of
the legendary masters,
Gichin Funakoshi and
Shigeru Egami,
reveals his lifelong search for the "Way of the Empty Hand". The book follows in the wake of the success of the biography Karate Master: The Life and Times of Mitsusuke Harada. It provides new facts and stories about the master and his teachers and further elaborates upon existing information. The text, which is largely Harada's own words, is packed with insights into the Shotokan Karate, and must be considered essential reading for all true followers of the Way of Shoto. |
It was before the war, when he
started practising at the Shotokan Dojo, that Master
Mitsusuke
Harada met
Yoshitaka Funakoshi, a true karate genius, after
which he became a private pupil of 'The Old Master',
Gichin
Funakoshi, when the dojo was destroyed in a bombing raid. Later,
the seniors and partners who influenced him most were
Shigeru
Egami and Tadao Okuyama. Harada Sensei truly belongs to a proud
lineage. |
