Paskin Andy, Westwood Darren. Bushi-Jutsu. The Science of the Warrior

Tipton: BJR Publishing, 2004. — 107 p. — ISBN: 0-9547364-0-0This book bridges the gap between the kata of old Okinawa, following the influence of the feudal Japanese militia and that which is taught in today's dojo as ' effective ' self - defence. The distressing reality, for most kata bunkai students, is that there is very little ' real ' application in the world today, outside Japan. That which is taught as ' bunkai ' tends to be Monkey See - Monkey Do - very few really understand the highly technical and effective nature of this ' secret ' part of karate. This book doesn't just uncover the brutal nature of karate kata application, it literally rips the shroud of secrecy from around it and cleaves the mystery from it.
