Any recommondations? Any variety of Karate is good, Shotokan is perfered.

If your curious as to why I ask, I'll tell you. Cuong Nhu includes Shotokan in the circulum (infact, it's mostly Shotokan). I decided to find out more about where Cuong Nhu comes from, so I thought I might as well buy some books.

Thank you!

I found this (http://www.amazon.com/Karate-Do-Way-Life-Gichin-Funakoshi/dp/0870114638/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207430653&sr=8-1) very enlightening.

Check out what Rob Redmond has to say here (http://www.24fightingchickens.com/category/recommended-reading/). I often disagree with him (and never more sharply than over the matter of the application potential of kata), but at the same time, he's often a breath of very fresh skeptical air in the excessively mystified world of the MAs.

I actually have that book. It was a very good read. However, I was hoping to add to the 'Shotokan Section' of my 'Martial Arts Library'.

Exile, I'll look into that site.

I'll be having a look at that site too.

CuongNhuka, I like what you have written in your signature block.
