The book explores the evolution of Okinawan Karate, emphasizing its development as a genuine fighting art, distinct from the industrialized and showy Karate-Do. It examines how Karate was used to prepare Japan for war and how its transformation into an athletic spectacle diluted its original purpose. The author advocates for Karate-Jutsu, highlighting its roots and the integration of foreign influences. Additionally, it discusses the emergence of a counterculture movement aimed at preserving Karate-Jutsu's authenticity against modern misconceptions and the commercialization of martial arts.
