Only ONE problem: Why replace the photos?

This is no doubt a true classic in the traditional Karate world, which I should find no reason not giving it full marks. So where is that missing star?
The problem came with this 'Revised Edition'. I was so surprised when I received it, finding out that they'd replaced all the demonstration photos from the older version. What a dumb move. The quality of the new photos might be a little bit better, but the new demonstrators are simply not on par with the ones in the original version.
My advice: If you can afford the $ and time, hunt down an out-of-print copy of the original version instead.

Egami Karate no more

It is very famous in Japan that Egami looked for soft and smooth Karate in Aikido or Shinei dai do.
His techniques are not like Karate we imagine. How to make fist is very different from other Karate because Egami way is very good to give a blow to human beings, not good for a brick or a board.
A kind of meditation, "A" and "Un", seems funny. Egami was studying hidden Japanese ascetic exercises. So I guess the meditation came from one of the exercises.
