Gichin Funakoshi is a legendary figure and the founder of Shotokan karate, the most popular style of Japanese karate, with millions of practitioners worldwide.

In The Essence of Karate, Funakoshi creates, in his own words, a narrative of modern karate.

He explains the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings and includes memories of his own training, as well as recollections of other karate masters and the history of the martial art.

He also discusses the importance of winning without fighting, and the reason why many great martial artists improve with age.
