Entertaining and Educational
Sensei Rego has captured a delightful historical vignette on the Beautiful Japanese martial arts, in America. We have so many great stories of our humble beginnings and proud tradition, including the origins of Judo in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Pacific Northwest. While Sensei Rego shares a perspective from the southeast, it is highly relatable. It is satisfying in its entertainment value and educational for me as a lifelong BUDO practitioner. WE GROW THROUGH UNDERSTANDING. I recommend this book for any practitioner of martial art and yes even sport combatants. Rei. #LifeLongLearner
Much gratitude, Sensei and guests.
