KENSEI ~ KYAN CHOTOKU; THE MAN & HIS ART

“Kensei, Kyan Chotoku, The Man & His Art”
Review by Dan Smith;
Seibukan USA Shibucho

I had the privilege of receiving an advanced copy of Patrick McCarthy Sensei’s
latest masterpiece, “Kensei, Kyan Chotoku, The Man & His Art,” a meticulously
researched and eloquently written exploration of the life and accomplishments of
Kyan Chotoku (1870-1945). This literary work is a captivating journey into the
transformation of 19th-century Okinawan karate, skillfully guiding us through
its evolution into the 20th century.

The anticipation heightened as I received the book a few days ago at 7 am,
presented in the form of a PDF along with a request for pre-publishing feedback.
Intrigued and eager for insights, I began with a cursory scan, only to find
myself immediately captivated by the narrative. Such was the depth of engagement
that I promptly rearranged my daily plans. Six hours later, having traversed the
pages with unwavering attention, I found myself immersed in a comprehensive
compilation of both previously published works and groundbreaking new research.

McCarthy’s work emerges as an invaluable resource, providing readers with a
nuanced and analytical exploration of all facets of Kyan’s legacy. It is a
commendable effort that shines a light on the intricacies of Okinawan karate’s
genesis and its crucial transition across a challenging era.

I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick McCarthy Sensei’s work to anyone with a keen
interest in Kyan’s legacy and the pivotal juncture when Okinawa karate crossed
the threshold from the 19th to the 20th century. In essence, my assessment of
the book was so profound that I promptly reached out to my teacher, Shimabukuro
Zenpo Hanshi, to share my unequivocal opinion—describing it as nothing short of
“brilliant.”

Purchase the Kyan book here …
