This collection of short stories, anecdotes, and hard lessons will be of interest to any student of classical martial arts, but of special interest to anyone seeking to better understand the training at the Shinjinbukan Shorin-ryu Dojo. It is true that physical training is key to learning Karate, but it is not sufficient. A lack of cultural understanding and context will prevent even the most diligent student from truly seeing and following the path laid out by a traditional teacher. This volume, the follow-on text to Shinjinbukan Shorin-ryu Karate-jutsu 35 Years of Dojo Notes, provides a glimpse into some of the most memorable lessons that Kogan sensei learned while trying to follow Onaga Yoshimitsu sensei's journey through the world of Karate for over 35 years. This easy-to-read collection of anecdotes, with an important Dojo life lesson on nearly every page, is accompanied by over 100 photographs documenting the history of Kogan sensei's Shibu Dojo.
