Rui Umezawa is a writer and instructor with the Canadian headquarters of the Shito-Ryu Itosu-Kai Karate.
Ever have a fellow karate-ka or one of your own students ask; what is the real meaning of 'Sensei'? Or have they ever asked what 'Gi' means? Have you ever been at a loss at explaining in plain english, what these words actually mean? I recieved this book as a gift and after going through it, realized I never knew myself where these words came from or what they 'really' meant. If you have ever wondered or were not entirely sure, I suggest you pick up this book and spend a while with it.
Many of the traditional words used in Japanese karate are difficult to translate and even harder to explain. This book does the best job I've ever seen with a wide range of words. I'm ordering copies as gifts for new teenage shodans in my dojo.
This book is an excellent source of knowledge for every karateka from white belt on up. I have read and re-read it several times, and have gained a new understanding from each reading.
