It will come as no surprise that I did not wake up one morning and start hiking the Appalachian Trail. The decision was a bit more deliberative and this book captures most of the details of how I made the decision and then how I planned the adventure. The bulk of the book is the collection of blogs I wrote each afternoon or evening – almost without fail. The blog format was the result of a friend’s interest in following my trek. Had he not expressed that interest, this book, if written, would have been at best a collection of notes occasionally entered on an iPhone – or worse, on a pad of paper.

Visitors to an Isshin-ryu Karate school are often impressed as much by what is taught as by what is not. In creating Isshin-ryu Master Shimabuku omitted as inessential and wasteful what he called 'fancy techniques', much of which are required learning in other styles of Karate. By it's very nature, then, Isshin-ryu is Hanshin-te - Lazy Man's Boxing. I believe this is a good thing. I also believe the reader will come to think so as well.
