Ank_ Itosu is one of the most important figures in the development of modern karate, both a martial art and sport which is practiced today by millions of people worldwide. He not only laid the foundation of modern training but taught a very sophisticated next generation of practitioners who later were essential for spreading this splendid art worldwide. Ank_ Itosu was born in the Shuri district of Okinawa, the main island of then independent Ry_ky_ Kingdom (what is now part of Japan) in the year of 1831, into a time when modernization has not yet started in this part of the world. Coming from a low-ranked family, he grew up in turbulent times, and after a long eventful life he eventually became a legendary figure of the Ry_ky_an history. He died in 1915. Looking at his education, his professional career, his dedication to the indigenous fighting arts and his legacy he has left to posterity, the book dives into the life and times of Ank_ Itosu, the man, the master and the myth.

Good Quality for the Price
Size: 15.7", Color: Black
Surprisingly good quality for shelves made of particle board. They look nice and hold quite a bit of weight when installed properly. I ordered another shorter set of floating shelves from another seller on Amazon. Those shelves were of especially horrible quality when compared to these.
