Four Shades of Black
The highly acclaimed debut by Shihan Gavin Mulholland. A deep, uncompromising exploration of Okinawan Goju Ryu covering technique, philosophy, and the real martial arts journey. Rated 4.4/5 on Goodreads.
"One of, if not the best practical book I've read on karate. About time someone wrote the real deal about kata instead of the gibberish usually seen."
by Gavin Mulholland
More Shades of Black
The Traditional Path from Black Belt to Master. Continuing where Four Shades of Black left off, this volume examines the higher kata of Goju Ryu, from Seiunchin through to the advanced Suparinpei, as a training guide for black belts advancing toward mastery.
"This book is not repeating the tropes of others, but comes from original experience and extensive research. That's what makes it a valuable read for any martial artist." - Steve Rowe, 9th Dan
