Summary: Hard fists and a cold dojo
Comment: Mr, Nicole tells about Karate from a Western viewpoint and how it was practiced in Japan after the war, but before it became mainstream in America. He recounts his interactions with the Japanese, some nice, some not so nice, and gives detailed accounts about his learning karate in the cold dojo with a wood burning stove as the only source of heat. His adventure is one that many of us envy but would not attempt, as he did and when he did. IN our current day of carpet on the floor, and three inch safety padding, Nicole's book provides a good account of what karate used to be like and should be like today.

Summary: A very good book for any level martial artist
Comment: This is a wonderful book. It is very easy to read and is appropriate at any level. I have read the book several times and each time I find myself learning something new (or at least comprehending something I hadn't before). As the name implies you will not learn technique from this book, rather you will gain insight through one man's retelling of his story of growing in the martial arts.
