Pateo, 978-94-90765-49-1, 1st Digital Edition (2026/03/13), 56 pages
While Gichin Funakoshi (1868 – 1957) is widely honored as the founding father of the modern ‘Way of the Empty Hand’ (Karate-Do), it was actually his third and youngest son Yoshitaka (nicknamed Gigō) who developed Shotokan’s characteristic deep stances and maximum impact techniques. This book revisits the basic principles of Shotokan established by this Waka Sensei (meaning ‘Young Teacher’), who lived from 1906 until 1945. With Gigō’s picture on the cover, in this book all his typical practices (Waza) are methodical explained and discussed within the all-encompassing paradigm of Wholly Science.
