Book Description | This bibliography is the first dedicated to Karate-do Shito Ryu by Kenwa Mabuni. This style of Karate was born in the 1920s on the Okinawa archipelago, in Shuri, in the modest garden of the Mabuni family's home. It is now taught around the world and has inspired many authors, as much in Japan as in Russia, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, China, Canada, Brazil, Pakistan, everywhere in Europe, etc. Three hundred references in fifteen languages are gathered here. This documentary base is not only intended for supporters of Shito Ryu or one of its secondary schools. It is a tool for all those who wish to deepen their learning of the martial art of the Way of the Empty Hand. |
