I just finished reading a rather charming book called Kihon no Izen by Stephane Meunier(Canada), this is 2nd edition I believe with the 1st edition being called Kiso no Kaisen.
It has some great photo's in it, a lot I have seen before, many I have not, a few of Takamatsu Sensei as well.
I really enjoyed the book, it shares his story of Martial Arts. I could really relate to it.
-The ignorant bliss most of us live in when it comes to our abilities and our teachers abilities,knowledge and where it came from.
-The awakening of doubt and not knowing why you feel it.
-A chance meeting that changes your outlook on Martial Arts.
-The hope for the future
-The importance of practice!!!!
-The burden and responsibility of being apart of a tradition Spanning 34 generations.
-Brief explanations of how transmission works etc.
There are a couple of poems in it by Hatsumi Soke, and nearly all of the photo's were supplied by Soke as well.
Whether you are a beginner or someone who has been practicing for a few years, I think you would enjoy the book. It will remind you to make sure you have your priorities in place correctly when it comes to practice. If you are a self proclaimed Shihan Mega dan expert... I would recommend staying clear, your pride could not take the nut shot it serves up.
Cheers Graham.
