EGAMI KARATE-DŌ PRACTICE INSTRUCTION MANUAL: The Karate-Dō Left Behind by Legendary Martial Artist Shigeru Egami

Master Shigeru Egami, known as a revolutionary figure in the karate world, studied under Master Gichin Funakoshi, who founded Japanese karate on the Japanese mainland. He later became the first head instructor of the Nippon Karate-do Shoto-kai.Through his encounter with Master Noriaki Inoue, founder of Shin-Eitai-do, Master Egami evolved karate beyond mere combat into “training for genuine friendship beyond conflict” and “soft karate,” leaving behind a legacy as a great martial artist.This book clearly outlines the training path within Egami Karate for karate instructors.In a world still divided, we hope this translation of Shigeru Egami's teachings—his vision of oneness, his practice of fostering friendship, and his path to the highest ideal—will reach many practitioners overseas.Furthermore, this book is endorsed by the Japan Karatedo Yutenkai, an organization carrying on Mr. Egami's legacy.
