I definitly, definitly recomend the following books, and can hold me to it.
Classical Man by Richard Kim
Karate-Do My Way of Life by Gichin Funakoshi
The 47 Ronin Story by John Allyn
The Weaponless Warriors By Richard Kim
I have read others but these were great books that were entertaining to read I will stand by them

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

Yes, Zen Kobudo by Mark Bishop.
Very good, especially the list of weapons - very informative.

Authentic (sp?) Tang Soo Do by C.S. Kim. Ok so I don't do TSD anymore, but he is the man. And he wrote a great book. I still look at it eventhough I do TKD now

What does everyone think of the book Karate Ideals? My Sensei recommended I read this, but not to learn Karate I think but to better understand where it came from etc.
