When exploring Okinawa Karate, one must absolutely acknowledge Master Choki Motobu. This is a book about Master Choki Motobu, who was considered the most practical practitioner of Okinawa Karate during his lifetime. I purchased this book new and have kept it at home. There are no pets and no smoking in the house. Although it is practically unused, I've stored it at home, so I've listed it as "near new." While it's near new, it has been in someone's possession, so it's not brand new. Please understand that this is a used item before considering a purchase. #OkinawaKarate #RyukyuKarate #KakeTest #PracticalKarate #MatchAgainstBoxers #Naihanchi #ChokiMotobu
