51 - The 10 Annotations by Anko Itosu 

Testimony of Itosu: The 10 Annotations By Kazuya Mitani and Bob McMahon

Preface:

The Testimony of Itosu is an important Karate classic.

We have chosen this name to distinguish our translation from the many other fine works that abound. Mitani Sensei is an expert in Linguistics and was keen to present his point of view.

Although the key points are outlined in short sentences, the details are highly significant. It is invaluable to the students who wish to study the original karate. Some mistakes are also present but this is because of the brevity of the text. There is no other book containing such important information that enables the reader to understand the karate of those times. It will remain a timeless classic.
