Toru Takamizawa Sensei was a deeply influential figure in the world of Karate: he left an indelible mark on the understanding of martial arts in the UK and beyond. His coaching techniques, introduced over three decades ago, still resonate today.
Toru Takamizawa possessed a rare combination of linguistic, martial and scientific knowledge, enabling him to explain the “why” and “how” behind techniques.
In this book, Steve Rowe, a direct student of Takamizawa, explains the concepts that Toru devised and the methods he taught, changing his way of thinking and training forever.
The principles and teachings shared in this book are not limited to martial arts alone; they hold value for anyone seeking personal development and growth.
– Martin Gatter, 8th Dan Karate and Tai Chi International Coach
This book is not a mere translation or regurgitation of Toru’s teachings; instead, Steve proves himself to be a worthy sparring partner, elevating the concepts to a new level of depth and structure. His dedication to sharing Toru’s wisdom is evident in each chapter, which begins with a carefully crafted seed of teachings from Toru. Steve then nurtures these seeds with his own observations, research, and the outcomes of his and Toru’s passionate teachings throughout the years and various locations.
