- 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
