"I highly recommend this book, not only for its reference value in application principles and practices, but also for its unique structure surrounding teaching models that support the principle-driven skillsets, which are central to Okinawan karate in general, and to Goju Ryu specifically.
I believe the work of this young master is destined to become a 'go-to' reference for all practitioners of the traditional fighting arts, irrespective of style."
-Hanshi Patrick McCarthy
"In the following pages, Russ Smith, presents an insightful, intriguing survey of the Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate style through the perspective of its Chinese influences. Each chapter contains an exceptional index and array of formative concepts for principle-driven teaching and training models, and also serves as a beneficial guide from which to align and substantiate methods for the progression of learning and teaching.
