It contains a thorough historical description of the Ryukyu kingdom's relations with both China and Japan; the background of the Fujian Southern Shaolin Temple and the various styles of Chinese martial arts that emerged from that lineage; the influence of Fujian boxing on the two great Naha-te styles of Goju-ryu and Uechi-ryu as well as the history of those styles and their major branches and masters; and the histories of Isshin-ryu, Kojo-ryu, Ryuei-ryu, and Motobu Udundi (Gotente). In each case, the book provides analytical assessments of the style's characteristics, descriptions of their curricula, and critical assessments of the accomplishments and controversies surrounding some of their great masters. This book is lavishly illustrated with photos, art work, maps, tables and charts, including a detailed description of the social and court ranks of the Ryukyu kingdom. Its footnotes provide access to a wide array of sources in English, Chinese, and Japanese--including available videos on the styles and masters, where available--for those who wish to learn more. As the companion to Volume One on Shuri-te and Shorin-ryu, this book is a “must-have” for all serious martial arts students. Review: Great resource. - Excellent read Review: An outstanding and well reserached book. Non-political about the karate styles in Naha Okinawa. - I just received this book and it is outstanding! I have to echo another reader's sentiments, that every Goju Ryu instructor needs to have this book in their possession. Yes, you may not agree with everything that the author has written or researched, but I believe that it non-political oriented, very well researched, very detailed and includes alot of information about other systems as well that we hardly have information on as well as other instructors. I have seen this book advertised for several years now and I have passed it up. I thought that is would be a rehash of the same old stuff like what is found in other Goju Ryu books, etc. But it is not. OUTSTANDING WORK! Buy the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #409,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #773 in Martial Arts (Books) #4,185 in Exercise & Fitness (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 75 Reviews | ## Images ![Okinawan Karate: A History of Styles and Masters: Volume 2: Fujian Antecedents, Naha-te, Goju-ryu, and Other Styles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X48TMccRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource. *by R***N on April 12, 2026* Excellent read ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding and well reserached book.
