Welcome to the November 2022 book survey, part four. I decided to break this month's survey into four posts. Part one is here . Part two is here . Part three is here . Introduction In November 2022, I (Richard) continued my reading plan. The major theme for this month is American Kenpo Karate, with Okinawan karate as a sub-theme. I've practiced both, so I'm a sympathetic reader. This post focuses on a five books on karate. Tonfa: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense, Fumio Demura, 1982 I bought my copy of Tonfa in August 1995, according to the note I wrote on the first page. My version is a 6 inches by 9 inches black and white paperback with 142 pages. You can download a digital edition for free from the Internet Archive although there is now a Kindle title for sale as well. There are pictures on every page of this book. It covers stances, similarities with empty hand karate, striking, and self-defense techniques. It's easy to follow and I used it back in the day before
