The Shotokan Karate Dictionary , fourth edition, is a complete compendium of essential terms of the practice of karate-do, with special focus on the Shotokan style.

The Shotokan Karate Dictionary also explores the philosophical background of karate through an explanation of selected terms, the origin of the name karate-do, the Twenty Precepts of Funakoshi, the rules that govern the dojo, karate philosophies, and annotations by famous Zen masters.
