The Karate-ka: A search for the old to understand the new

â€œA journey of discovery into the forgotten origins of karate.â€

Spanning twenty years, The Karate-ka shares the authorâ€™s thrilling adventure from Japan to Okinawa in search of the mother of all karate styles - a â€˜lost fighting artâ€™ known simply as Te.

Following a chance encounter with an Old Man who recalls training in his youth with Gichin Funakoshi, the â€˜Father of modern karateâ€™, the author ultimately abandons the mainstream dojo to seek out the last of the Te masters.

Along the way he meets various teachers, some hidden, some not, but each with their own repertoire of martial techniques and strategies, all wrapped within the transformative wisdom of a former time.

Insightful, profound and inspiring The Karate-ka is a refreshing â€˜travel journalâ€™ read for all martial artists regardless of style or cultural origin.
