Download or read book Classic Kata of Shorinji Ryu written by Leroy Rodrigues and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard `Biggie' Kim, Lefty Nakayama, Clarence Lee, Richard Lee, and Herbert Lee taught me all the katas contained in this book. These katas are very rare and only a few people around the world practice them. That is the reason why I decided to document and share these kata. I felt an obligation to not allow these beautiful and effective forms to be lost to history. In a sense, this book is a tribute to Richard `Biggie' Kim, one of the most knowledgeable martial artists the world has ever known. Please be aware that this book is meant for high level traditional martial artists and for those who already are familiar with these katas.
