CHOJUN

[Goran]

Thrilled to tell you guys that my new novel Chojun is out now on Amazon USA and coming to Amazon UK very soon. Think Karate Kid meets Letters from Iwo Jima and you pretty much have it... it's the story of Chojun Miyagi - the 'real' Mr Miyagi - told from the viewpoint of a fictional student Kenichi Ota. If you get the chance to read it, please add a review too. Cheers!

Chojun is one of the best books I have ever read. In my opinion, this work of historical fiction, that has been meticulously researched. The book paints a picture of life on Okinawa before, during, and after World War II. It’s a story of reverence, the coming of age, love, tragedy, war, and honor. A retired Okinawa karate instructor, Kenichi Ota, writes memoirs of training with world-famous master, Chojun Miyagi, their struggle for survival, and their final battle to keep the master’s art alive for future generations. The master is Chojun Miyagi (the real Mr. Miyagi rather than the Hollywood legend.) Miyagi created Goju Ryu Karate, a style practiced today by millions around the world, and the author, Goran Powell, is a 4th dan instructor in this style. Even if you know nothing about martial arts, you will enjoy this book....it's just a great read.

I loved this book as it gives a more personal insight into the Pacific war that was fought after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. How it affected the founding father of Goju karate, his students and the island of Okinawa.

An amazing moving and very thought provoking book.

Rreally looking forward to more books by this author.
