Bubishi
It is an obscure martial arts text written in Chinese. But, it was a most cherished possession of many of the great founders of modern karate -- something that was meticulously hand copied and shared among only their most trusted students. The age of the Bubishi and the origin are unknown. Yet, while the text remains a mystery, it is also the only historical written record of martial techniques and theory to have emerged from karate's past.

“The Bubishi” is the name of a text used by ancient Budo masters which contains an assembly of techniques, kata (forms), strategies, vital points, popular medicine and ethic/moral code for martial artists. This compilation is credited with shaping the theory and practice of traditional and modern Budo, (martial arts).

Book Description

"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action."--Samurai Maximum.

Under the guidance of such celebrated masters as Ed Parker and the immortal Bruce Lee, Joe Hyams vividly recounts his more than 25 years of experience in the martial arts. In his illuminating story, Hyams reveals to you how the daily application of Zen principles not only developed his physical expertise but gave him the mental discipline to control his personal problems-self-image, work pressure, competition. Indeed, mastering the spiritual goals in martial arts can dramatically alter the quality of your life-enriching your relationships with people, as well as helping you make use of all your abilities.--

Bankei, noticing that he was being served better miso than his pupils, asked: "Who is the cook today?"
