A Legacy Continued
In the words of Sensei Sadaaki Sakagami, the 4th Soke of Itosu-ryu:
“This book, specializing in karatedo kata, has been well received since its publication in 1978. There have been four printings since then, but there has not been an opportunity to make another one for over a decade. In recent years, there has been a strong demand by karate enthusiasts for another printing so I have decided to issue a 5th printing. This will serve as a reference work of kata for the continued practice of Itosu-ryu Karatedo.”
Experience the profound teachings and preserve the rich traditions of Itosu-ryu Karatedo with this meticulously translated edition.
