No reviews yet Write a Review
This book reflects on those years of the tough "blood and guts" era of sport tournament Karate. I reflect on my successful career as a tournament fighter in the United States, Europe, and Korea. I got to know and fight those Martial Art stars that I admired. There were not many books out in the world concerning karate, but I bought all that I could find. I enjoyed my 30 plus years of karate tournament competition and I would not trade anything for the experiences that I have had. I have never looked back or thought that I should have competed more. When I walked away, I felt like I had so much valuable information to share with followers of this amazing sport.

Description  
Karate Stories reflects on the "Blood and Guts" are of Tournament Karate as documented by Grand Master 10th Degree Black Belt, Jim Butin with humor and insight.
Gary Lee, the curator of the Sport Karate Museum in Houston Texas stated. "No other man in martial art history has had first-hand experience in the bare knuckle era of the 60's, the 1st World Tae Kwon Do Championships, and the '1974 Dream Team' (which included Jim Butin, Superfoot Bill Walace, Joe Lewis, Jeff Smith and Howard Jackson) and the U.S., vs, Europe team fights.
In my experience, I have been blessed to be a part of martial arts history in the U.S. since 1966. As a 16-year-old high school student starting classes with Master J. Pat Burleson in Ft. Worth, Texas, I was like a sponge from my very first class.
This book also pays honor to his longtime friend and Mentor J. Pat Burleson. History records J. Pat Burleson as America's karate pioneer and "Father" of all karate champions.
