“BUBISHI” The Bibel of Karate

Bubishi
Translation By Patrick McCarthy

Treasured for centuries by karate’s top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategie, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as ” the bible of karate ” by the famous master Chojun Myagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishi was a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate’s legendary masters have studied it, or copied messages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi.
