Additional Reviews:/b>

"The Bubishi might therefore be considered both a creation as well as a creator of modern Karate." —Andreas Quast, Award winning Martial Arts author

"I do believe that this book, and Mr. McCarthy's version in particular, probably has a lot to give any martial artist." —Martial Thoughts blog

"THE most important text in karate history. If you are a karateka, and wish to study from what the old masters studied from, then this book is as important as going to class." —Martial Thoughts blog

"Bubishi: The Classic Manual Of Combat is a completely fascinating book to check out for the historical content if you are a history lover of Asian martial arts. It is a must-own if you are neck deep in your Karate, Kung Fu, or Taekwondo education, and you will give you a deeper appreciation of the roots of where whatever martial art you do know came from." —The Fight Nerd

"When it comes to martial arts books, you'll often hear phrases like 'must-read' and 'any serious martial artist should buy_____'. Often these are just easy platitudes, but in the case of The Bubishi, they are true (if not soft understatements)." —Ikigaiway.com blog

"Patrick McCarthy's Bubishi is a thoroughly researched translation and commentary that will intrigue even the most advanced reader…an extensive study that is comprehensible to the modern reader while losing none of the work's ancient wisdom." —Budo Dojo blog

"(McCarthy) will leave no stone unturned in his passionate pursuit." —Hanshi Cezar Borkowski, Northern Karate, Toronto

"This new version has been a great reason for me to revisit the work, and, unsurprisingly, has led to some new ideas and understanding on my part." —Ikigai Way blog

"It is clear that the Bubishi has come to be much more than a book. It is an artifact whose very physical existence legitimates one's martial practice." —Kung Fu Tea blog


Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts.

Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishi was a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi.

Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. This is the first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual. A goldmine for researchers and practitioners alike, its pages are filled with notes, explanations and groundbreaking research from McCarthy on Okinawan and Chinese history and the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries.

For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available. This new paperback edition includes additional commentary from the translator, as well as a new foreword.

    Als verschillende karatemeesters van meer dan 100 jaar geleden al dit boek "de bijbel van het karate" noemden, dan weet iedere karate beoefenaar dat het verplichte kost is!
