About the Author
Gichin Funakoshi (1868-1957) is known throughout the world as one of karate's great masters. Born in Okinawa, he began training in karate as a child. Also educated in the Confucian classics, he became a schoolteacher early in life. In 1922, he demonstrated the then-secret Okinawan art on the Japanese mainland, which led to karate's introduction to the rest of Japan and subsequently the rest of the world. Funakoshi devoted the remainder of his life to this traditional sport and wrote several classics on the subject, including Karate-do Kyohan and an autobiography entitled Karate-do: My Way of Life.
John Teramoto, the translator, was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1950. After beginning karate training in 1963, he reached the rank of godan in 1990. Since 1998, he has served as the president of the Black Belt Council of the Shotokan Karate of America. Teramoto received a Ph. D. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in Japanese Art History in 1994 and is currently an Associate Curator of Asian Art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Karate jutsu
By Mike Addison-Saipe
I began the study of Karate in 1963 and still train 5 days per week now.This wonderful work is a window into the world of karate before the japanese and westerners twisted it for their own ends.In modern karate there is very little emphasis on throws and they are always sterile.
However,Funakoshi here gives a hint as to the karate he was taught.
Quote: "There are time when the (throwing)Technique just will not work and in order to defend oneself may have no alternative but to "swallow one's tears and resort to using ones head as a mallet"". end quote.
To any person interested in the true history of karate and who studies the art , a question.When did you last see a headbutt at a tournament?

If you've read "Karate-do Kyohan" you're gonna want this!
By Mike Lyon
For those who already are familiar with Master Funakoshi's 1935 masterpiece, "Karate-do Kyohan: The Master Text" (Kyohan), this book, "Karate Jutsu" (Jutsu), should be of great interest. Originally published in 1922 under the title, "Ryukyu Kenpo Karate", this was the first book ever published on the subject of karate! Virtually every karate book subsequently written seems to have followed Funakoshi's original method of presenting instructional material step-by-step with photos and accompanying text. The translator, John Teramoto, was 13 in 1960 when he began practicing Karate under Tsutomu Ohshima (the translator of "Karate-do Kyohan"). He received a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in Japanese Art History, is an Associate Curator of Asian Art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and president of the Black Belt Council of Shotokan Karate of America. His intimate knowledge and understanding of karate, his fluency in English and Japanese, and his exceptional scholarship, and his previous experience in translating "Karate-do Nyumon" into English make him the ideal translator of Jutsu. Several years ago I bought an English translation of "Karate Jutsu" titled "To-te Jitsu". Although it is a translation of the exact same Japanese text, the language is so awkward and stiff, sometimes with errors and incomplete translations that I found it virtually impossible to understand. So I appreciate the wonderful job Dr. Teramoto did with "Karate Jutsu" even more. His prose is extremely clear, readable, and sometimes even poetic! And he included a long and very helpful Translator's Introduction and almost 100 footnotes which genuinely enhanced my understanding. The original photographs of Funakoshi from the 1925 edition are reproduced, and they depict the master in his prime at about 50 years of age. It is very satisfying to see his posture and serious demeanor. The 'skeleton' of Kyohan is first published here in Jutsu. Jutsu is divided into four major sections, "The History, Value, and Methods of Karate", "The Compositional Structure of Karate", The Fundamentals and Kata of Karate", and "Additional Comments on the History and Research of Karate." The narrative portions can be read through in just a few hours time and appear to be entirely repeated and expanded in the later Kyohan. Still, there are many differences to ponder and savor. For example, it was so interesting to read that in Kehanashi (snapping kick) power is mainly placed in the standing leg while in kekomi (thrusting kick) power is mainly placed in the kicking leg as one continues to step in (not pulling back the kicking leg). Only five of the nine throws described in Kyohan are illustrated in Jutsu (some with different names) plus there's one not seen in Kyohan called Nodo-osae. There are also changes in the list of basic techniques with Jutsu describing techniques like 'inner and outer thigh kick', for example, which are absent from Kyohan. With the exception of Taikyoku kata and Ten no Kata, the forms described in Jutsu are the same ones described in Kyohan and their performance is similar but not the same. The five Pinan kata (renamed Heian kata by the time Karate-do Kyohan was published), three Naihanchi kata (later renamed Tekki), Sehshan (later renamed Hangetsu), Passai (later renamed Bassai), Wanshu (later renamed Empi), Chinto (later renamed Gankaku), Jitte (later renamed Jutte), and Jion (which has somehow managed to retain its original Okinawan title) are all described with identical counts in both Jutsu and Kyohan, but the Jutsu descriptions are generally made in less detail. Of interest are the numerous small but significant differences in the movements of these kata. One can infer something about the direction karate practice was taking between 1922 and 1935 by the changes which are apparent between Jutsu and Kyohan. I can't recommend "Karate Jutsu" highly enough. If you've studied "Karate-do Kyohan", you'll want to study "Karate Jutsu". If you don't have "Karate-do Kyohan", I suggest you get it first!

Shoto-Kan / Tang Soo Do connection
By JD
If you want to see the evolution of Okinawan Karate from Shuri-te into Shorin-Ryu, Shoto-Kan , and eventually Korean Tang Soo DO you need to have this book and also Karate-DO Kyohan. Then study Hwang Kees Two texts on Tang Soo Do vol 1 and 2 and you'll see Tang Soo Do is the Korean version of Shoto-Kan (which is nothing to be ashamed of). Even though the Koreans don't like to admit it, there's no question where Tang Soo Do's roots lie and it's not in a 2000 year old Korean art, or anything Mstr. Kee learned in China! You will also see the changes that evolved, from the High original stances of Okinawan karate (that Funakoshi was taught by Itosu), to the deeper and longer stances that later developed in shoto-kan (Karate-Do Kyohan), as well as many Shoto-isms particular to both styles such as Pinan 1 and 2 being reversed from Itosu's original order. You'll notice the single index finger knife hand blocks in Seishan Kata (which modern Shoto-kan no longer uses but Tang Soo Do still does, the commonality of the total kata and the overall simularity which is remarkable especially when Tang Soo Do's leaders and most Koreans refuse to admit it.
