The Release of The Essence of Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do

I am very humbled and pleased to announce the release of my 3rd book:

The Essence of Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do: History, Foundation, and Legacy

Now available at:
books.by/ino-maquirang

This book follows the private release of my first book, Kyokasho (2024), the textbook of Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do techniques, and my second book, Meditative Themes (2025), which explored the deeper reflective practices that sit at the heart of our training.

The Essence of Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do is my memoir and the founding philosophy of Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do International.

It traces my journey from Brooklyn to Sydney, from student to founder, and the philosophy that emerged from more than fifty years of training, teaching, leadership, and self-reflection.

It explores the meaning behind the name and symbols of Jin Sei Ryu, the principles that guide our school, and what karate-do can offer to people of all ages and backgrounds.

This is not a book about technique.

It is a book about what happens when you commit to something seriously for a very long time, and what that commitment reveals about your authentic self.

I am also honoured that this book includes a foreword by Leigh, my wife and partner in this budo journey.

The book will also be available on Amazon soon.
