Description
Scott Langley's Karate Stupid is a true story of perseverance and sacrifice. In 1997, he embarked on an infamous journey to complete the Japanese Instructors' Course, a feat achieved by only four non-Japanese individuals in its 50-year history. As a third-degree black belt and national team captain, Scott had it all - but his secret plan was to be the fifth foreigner to succeed. The course tested his limits, pushing him to survive and never give in. However, when he sent his manuscript to his Sensei for approval, he received a shocking response: the book was deemed full of lies and misrepresentations, forcing Scott to confront the consequences of his actions. The repercussions of Scott's decision have been far-reaching, affecting not only his own reputation but also that of his karate organization in Ireland. This book chronicles his journey, revealing the sacrifices he made and those he continues to face today.
