KARATE:
THE ENDLESS QUEST
By William Dometrich
The publication
of this book marks the first time that Hanshi Dometrichi's
story is being widely told. Students of all karate styles
can now get a glimpse of what it was like to train directly
under one of the "old masters" of karate-do. Chitose
O-Sensei was one of the most important architects of modern
karate-do during a key time in its development, and without
knowing why, William J. Dometrich was accepted as his first
non-Japanese student.
This book is a valuable and insightful addition to the growing
body of martial arts literature whose focus is to reveal the
true spirit of the Japanese budo—that of perseverance,
dedication, and service. Students of all martial arts will
enjoy its stories and be motivated by its lessons. It also
provides a unique insight into the early years of karate-do
in North America. Readers will learn first hand of the camaraderie,
the struggles, the victories, and the defeats. Without a doubt,
this is a book that all students of karate-do should have
in their martial arts library. It is the culmination of 50
years of experience in the martial arts, clearly depicting
the experiences of one of today's top teachers. Readers will
find the writing style captivating and personable, and will
thoroughly enjoy the many photographs and anecdotes.
