“Whether one is a non-practitioner, beginner, or an advanced student of the martial arts, there is ample information for all to digest and analyze, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of martial arts and what effects it has on the mental development of the martial mind.”

—Richard Kageyama, 7th Dan, Shotokan Karate-do, chief instructor at Monterey Park Karate Club

“Tong reveals, in a rich and concise way, how Traditional Karate is an all encompassing art—mind, body, spirit—that is rooted in deep cultural mores and in a lifelong journey of learning.…. Every martial arts practitioner, especially those in Traditional Karate, will find something in this book that resonates and elevates his/her curiosity and journey toward a deeper ‘way of life.’”

—Soolmaz Abooali, PhD, World Champion (Women Kata and Kumite), World Traditional Karate Federation

“Sensei Tong has compiled a detailed and comprehensive book that will contribute broadly as well as deeply to the understanding and practice of Traditional Karate practitioners. This book is of special value to instructors who can reference its historical and technical information to students, while also deepening their own insights against the backdrop of science, culture, and physiology.…. I highly recommend this book to instructors, students, and anyone interested in martial arts.”

—M. Tabassi, 9th Dan, Traditional Karate, chief instructor at Japan Shotokan Karate Association International
