The book also features the master himself performing many of these traditional forms including bo, sai, tongfa and nunchaku. The book also has rare photos of some of Okinawa's top masters, including Higo Seiko, Matayoshi Shimpo and Akamine Etsuke. The text was translated by Eihachi Ota, himself a kobudo master and student of the late Nagamine Shoshin who was also a student of Taira Shinken's.
