Description
Budo Meijin: The Forgotten Masters of Japanese Martial Arts This book tells the story of three remarkable martial artists who made significant contributions to Japanese martial arts, but remain lesser-known. From the late 19th to the end of the 20th centuries, Yoshida Kotaro, Konishi Yasuhiro, and Mochizuki Minoru each left an indelible mark on their respective disciplines. Their paths crossed and influenced one another, with Yoshida studying under the renowned Takeda Sokaku and introducing Ueshiba Morihei to his teachings. Konishi, meanwhile, played a crucial role in popularizing karate and securing official recognition for his teachers and peers. Mochizuki Minoru, a student of the "big three" founders of empty-hand martial arts, went on to become a master of multiple disciplines and establish his own comprehensive martial arts system. These three individuals were true masters of their craft, and their legacy continues to be felt in the world of martial arts today.
