FOREWORD

The third book of my favorite Tactics series by Shihan Kazumi Tabata has finally arrived and it is my great pleasure to endorse this best selling series.

Shihan Tabata and I are fellow pupils and descendants of Sensei Isao Obata, founder and first Chief Director of Japan Karate-do Federation.

While I am in the business field, Shihan Tabata was dispatched overseas by Sensei Isao Obata to promote Karate. Over the years, Shihan Tabata has been teaching Karate at universities, mastered esoteric learning, awakened to the state of enlightenment to apply what he learned to the real world, and established a whole worldview that is different from the past books written about martial arts.

The soul of martial arts exists in a world you can come to understand only after you reach the mysterious esoteric learning of the East. This book completes the series that has moved many of its readers. This series is well constructed and readers may come to understand this world of enlightenment as they read forward. The accomplishments the author attained through training and effort shines brilliantly throughout the series.

This book covers everything thoroughly yet simply, from immovable heart, fudo-shin (the universe and I are the same), world of the nothingness (mu) and the emptiness (ku), boundary of inner strength, to enlightenment of ancestors including classic texts. I feel privileged that I met this book. Readers who have all the books of this series can keep them over a lifetime and find new frontiers with every new read. This book not only guides you through life but also establishes wealth in your heart by connecting you with various worlds. I am sure it can help you break through the walls that appear in your life.

I am impressed and confident that these books will be read by those who come after us. I am honored to live in the same generation with Shihan Tabata. With confidence and pride, I truly recommend this book to keep by your side over your lifetime.
