Woher weißt du, dass es wahr ist?

"Sehr schöne kurze abgeschlossene und doch zusammenhängende Geschichten zum nachdenken. Sie zeigen uns, dass die Welt durch genaues Hinsehen und positive Gedanken durchaus schön sein kann. Für alle die viel zu oft abwesend anwesend sind.Gratulation an den Autor für dieses schöne und sehr feine Werk. Ein bisschen Coelho, ein bisschen Kampfkunst und sehr viel Lebenserfahrung …"

The 26 Shōtōkan-Kata at a glance

"The book is a very good addition to the detailed 'black books'. Ideal for the sports bag, to be able to quickly look up something when it is needed. In addition, compact, robust, with unsurpassed good representations of the kata."

From black belt to master

"Good continuing education. I think the book is well done. As a fresh DAN carrier I could improve subtleties in the execution. Sure, you've heard it before, but now it's bundled. Hip use and speed come into play. Quick to understand due to good writing style."
