About this title

Synopsis

Follow the path of budo—the warrior’s code of conduct—as it unfolds in the life of karate master Kancho Joko Ninomiya. Grandmaster of Enshin Karate and creator of the Sabaki Challenge, Kancho Ninomiya reveals how the spirit of feudal Japanese warriors inspired him as a boy and continues to shape his life as a man. My Journey in Karate describes the rigors of Ninomiya’s early training in judo before a chance meeting introduced him to an innovative karate sensei who changed his life. In addition to Kancho Ninomiya’s own story, My Journey in Karate includes an extended section of Ninomiya’s reflections on training, competition, strategy, and the lessons of karate both in and out of the dojo.

Synopsis

This is the story of the early years of Kancho Ninomiya's quest for perfection. From an early training in judo to the testing grounds of hostile dojos, Ninomiya pushed himself beyond ordinary limits on the path of the "budo", or the "warrior's code of conduct".
