The Twenty Guiding Principles of Karate: The Spiritual Legacy of the Master by Gichin Funakoshi, translated by John Terramoto [in AsianWeek]
For the first time, the legendary principles of karate as espoused by Master Funakoshi, called the father of karate, are available in English translation. Rather than focusing on victory or defeat or the technical aspects of the sport, the Master insists on a training that involves both mind and body, to create a karate-do, a karate way.
