see what the world is saying about this full colour publication.....
Mark Groenwald - 'Karate the Japanese Way'........
"Enoeda was very fortunate to have such a devoted student
as Rod Butler.
I think that every high ranked karate instructor secretly wishes that
they
had someone like Rod Butler to create a strong testament to their lives.
That is what this book really is. It is like a candle we would light in
remembrance of those passed on before us, and Rod Butler has managed
to articulately and eloquently express his impressions, experiences, and
affections for a man who he has called “Sensei”.
Master Okazaki. ISKF in the USA ....."It
is a very nice book and
wonderful tribute to Enoeda. Congratulations on a fine work that will
be a great source and addition to the library of all Shotokan karate-ka".
Master Hideo Matsui - Japan......"I glanced through the book and I was excited to find so many good old pictures, I will read the book this week".
Combat and Traditional Karate Magazine ..... UK..."It
is obvious from the outset that this is a genuine labour of love; a publication
that is infused with the quality and professionalism that one would associate
with Enoeda and his karate. In terms of presentation the book is virtually
flawless, benefiting from excellent layout and design and punctuated by
high quality black and white and colour photographs. The photographs themselves
provide a fantastic historical context for the text, featuring historical
shots of Enoeda in Japan, at university, with his family and friends,
relaxing and in action.
Jose Alberto Pinheiro...Karate-Do.net......Portugal......."This could well be a technical and chronological compendium of Master Enoeda's activity in the art of Karate, but it revealed to be much more than that. The pages of this very well written and brilliantly illustrated book [you will be amazed with the superb quality of the design and photography], Rod Butler opens us the door to the world of Enoeda. His life, personality and the impressions his powerful spirit carved on his friends and students, are accounted with an affection that could only be born from a truthful and lasting sense of admiration and respect".
Paul Willoughby....Maryland, USA..... "I
just finished reading the chapter on the Marshall St. Dojo. This book
is captivating. It really makes you feel like you know Mr. Enoeda. I am
very sorry to not have met him. The one opportunity I had to travel to
the Marshall St. dojo, he was away travelling. I still enjoyed training
there. Good place - and OBTW, the description of those stairs is no exaggeration.
Get this book. It'll be a collector's item.
Sensei Willy Ortiz.... Chief Instructor, Finland.... "Rod's
book I read it in one day, no brakes, and I think Rod was very lucky to
have been able to live during Sensei's transition from tiger to Master.
All of this can be read in a very comfortable and easy to read narrative
about a great Master. I was so enchanted with his style that I have asked
him to work with me on a forthcoming book about the history of Shotokan
karate. Not just one more book, but an enjoyable book".
Peter Lindsay....Victoria, Canada.... "Written by
a fellow martial artist, Rod Butler who was himself graded to 4th Dan
by Sensei Enoeda, this book is a must read for any Shotokan practioner.
So add it to your collection, read it more than once, and in doing so
help celebrate the life of an irreplaceable icon, a valued and respected
teacher, a good friend, a loyal husband, and beloved father. While those
senior students with a few years of experience under their belt might
better appreciate some of the subtle comments regarding what it was like
training under Enoeda Sensei both in the dojo and on courses, this book
should never the less still appeal to any Shotokan karateka".
Jon Keeling...Shotomag, USA...." Full of interesting
stories of Enoeda Sensei’s public and private lives and including
a multitude of pictures, this book is a fine tribute to the “Tiger”.
The author was both a senior student and personal friend of this legendary
Shotokan master and conducted many interviews and took many photos over
the years that formed the foundation of this book".
