    Default Fusei Kise books

    Has anyone read either of the books found at this link:

    http://www.kenshin-kan.com/Fusei-Kise-Books.html

    The Spirit of Okinawan Karate Extended Throughout the World
    by Hanshi Fusei Kise

    New History of Shorin-Ryu Matsumura Seito
    by Hanshi Fusei Kise

    I was thinking of ordering one but was not sure which. Any feedback?

    Thanks
    Jeff

    I have read both of them. I guess it all depends of what you are looking for out of the book. The first is pretty much a biography and testaments from his friends.
    The second a history and testament from his students. I bought the book because I used to be in his style a long time ago. My instructor is pictured in the first book with the caption identifying him as Kise's "first black belt"-which isn't true. I gave the book to my instructor a while back.
    I still have the second book.
