Picked up a copy of Bruce D. Clayton's "Shotokan's-Secret" over the weekend. Fascinating read. I have read studies dealing with the links between Chuan Fa, Karate and Taekwondo before but, this book is more revealing than any other I have read. The trail from Mudokwan TKD back to Shotokan Karate back to Fukien White Crane has always, to me, proved elusive in print to any large extent. Mr. Clayton gives some valuable insight on the whys and hows of what came to be commercial Karate and TKD. Commodore Perry of the U.S. Navy even had a role. Kata origins are also discussed. Anyone curious on these subjects would spend $16.95 American for the book which is 287 pages not including appendix. Anyone aware of a book or books that would compliment this study?
