Mas Oyamas's Complete Karate Course Review Good book at a great price... This is a no-non-sense book... Full of photographic illustrations and less text for the reader to get a complete understanding of karate and it's moves,etc.. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves to learn karate to increase their understanding of same for fitness and self defense. --Ram Anand Nov 10, 2013This book is nt by Mas Oyamas. It contains some photo of the great teacher. Would prefer to buy another book on the same subject! also its costly no discount --Praveen Oct 27, 2013The book is not by Mas Oyamas but has some picture of the teacher. Would prefer to buy a different book on the same subject! --Praveen Oct 27, 2013 				    	 					 About the Author Masutatsu Oyama (yama Masutatsu?, born Choi Yeong-eui (Hangul:Hanja:); July 27th, 1923 April 26, 1994), more commonly known as Mas Oyama, was a karate master who founded Kyokushin Karate, considered the first and most influential style of full contact karate.[2][3] A Zainichi Korean, he spent most of his life living in Japan and acquired Japanese citizenship in 1964.
