REVIEWS
I know of no other test that pushes people as far as the Thirty Man Kumite and I know of no other book that can prepare you to face such a test quite like this one. Gavin Mulholland, Four Shades of Black First you will realize that Goran Powell has taken the craft of writing and storytelling and made it art. This book is an easy read, engaging and utterly seamless. And then it is not an easy read… realize that you will be challenged. Kris Wilder, The Way of Kata Exceeding the lofty standard set by Powell’s prior books, this is one of the finest tomes on karate available. Frankly it’s worth reading simply for the storytelling alone, but deep insight in to learning, teaching, and coaching karateka is invaluable regardless of what style you practice.
