{"product_id":"9781933901329","title":"Karate: The Endless Quest","description":"The publication of this book marks the first time that Hanshi Dometrichi's story is being widely told. Students of all karate styles can now get a glimpse of what it was like to train directly under one of the \"old masters\" of karate-do. Chitose O-Sensei was one of the most important architects of modern karate-do during a key time in its development, and without knowing why, William J. Dometrich was accepted as his first non-Japanese student. This book is a valuable and insightful addition to the growing body of martial arts literature whose focus is to reveal the true spirit of the Japanese Budo-that of perseverance, dedication, and service. Readers will learn first hand of the camaraderie, the struggles, the victories, and the defeats. Without a doubt, this is a book that all students of karate-do should have in their martial arts library. It is the culmination of 50 years of experience in the martial arts, clearly depicting the experiences of one of today's top teachers.","brand":"Empire Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044251025648,"sku":"9781933901329","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933901329_p0.jpg?v=1763641496","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933901329","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
