my jouney

This autobiography takes an inside look at shihan ninomiya's dream of living the karate way in a modern world. The essence budo.

Great karate master's autobiography

Ninomaya sensei's journey is sure to be enjoyed by all martial arts enthusiasts. Those who study karate or merely wish for a window into its particular flavor and style will find this book revealing. Nothing like the technical tour-de-force of "Sabaki Method", "My Journey" is a martial arts memoir in the vein of Funakoshi's epic tome, carrying on the bold spirit at the heart of Karate-do.

Interesting story of instructor's path from Japan to U.S.

Shihan Ninomiya, known to most martial artists as the sponsor of the Tai-Sabaki Challenge, tells the fascinating story of his own training. He tells of his full-contact career and the conflicts with other instructors and organizations. He also details the varied path which led him to his current home dojo in Colorado. If you are a student of Enshin, Kokoro, Shidokan, or Kyokushin, it should be required reading.
