Summary: Shotokan's Secret
Review: I have been studying Shotokan for over 20 years. This book was well researched, and has given me much more to think about. Not only has it made me think about Shotokan in a different light, it has made me think about the development of martial arts in general. This is a must-read for anyone who studies the martial arts seriously.
