- KEINOSUKE
ENOEDA - THE TIGER OF SHOTOKAN KARATE
-
- The
end of an era
- I never met the man.
-
- But I knew his
name, and I knew his reputation as a Master of Shotokan
Karate.
-
- This wonderful
book, entitled "Keinosuke Enoeda - The Tiger of
Shotokan Karate", is not only a well written
historical overview that traces the development of
Shotokan Karate in England over the past forty years, it
is also a very heart felt tribute to one of the greatest
practitioners the art of Shotokan Karate has ever known.
-
- From his early
karate days at university in Japan, to relaxing with
friends on the links of the famed St. Andrew's Golf Club
in Scotland, this book offers the reader an series of
insightful glimpse into what it was like training, and
relaxing, with a man who dedicated his life to a single
goal, teaching Shotokan Karate.
-
- Written by a fellow
martial artist, Rod Butler who was himself graded to 4th
Dan by Sensei Enoeda, this book is a must read for any
Shotokan practioner. So add it to your collection, read
it more than once, and in doing so help celebrate the
life of an irreplaceable icon, a valued and respected
teacher, a good friend, a loyal husband, and beloved
father.
-
- While those senior
students with a few years of experience under their belt
might better appreciate some of the subtle comments
regarding what it was like training under Enoeda sensei
both in the dojo and on courses, this book should never
the less still appeal to any Shotokan karateka.
-
- The book can be
ordered on line at http://www.karate-london.co.uk/enoeda.html and would make an
excellent gift at any time of the year.
-
- Remember
- Knowledge
comes from many places,
- but
only to those who seek it.
-
- Part
the clouds - see the way.
-
- "The
objective of karate-do is to contribute to the evolution
- of
the human spirit through physical and mental training."
- Sensei
