Karate Kids: The Way of the Warrior-A Children's Book

SPS and Dr. Meshi is excited to announce her first children's book as an independent author.

"Karate Kids: The Way of the Warrior" follows the journey of a group of children as they embark on a thrilling adventure into the world of karate. Led by their wise and compassionate sensei, Sensei Fumio, the children discover the true essence of karate—not just as a martial art, but as a path to self-discovery, discipline, and personal growth.

The story begins as the children step into Sensei Fumio's dojo for the first time, filled with excitement and anticipation. Over the course of their training, they learn the fundamentals of karate, including basic techniques, stances, and footwork, all while developing important values such as respect, perseverance, and courage.

As they progress in their training, the children face challenges both on and off the tatami mats. They learn the importance of discipline and focus through rigorous practice sessions, and they build camaraderie and teamwork as they support each other through their journey.

Throughout the book, the children experience the thrill of sparring sessions, the beauty of performing kata, and the empowerment of learning self-defense techniques. They also discover the deeper meanings behind each aspect of karate, from the history and philosophy to the code of conduct that guides their actions both in and out of the dojo.

As the children prepare for their belt graduation ceremony, they reflect on how far they've come since they first stepped into the dojo. With their newfound skills, confidence, and friendships, they are ready to face whatever challenges await them on their continued journey as karateka.

"Karate Kids: The Way of the Warrior" is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that celebrates the transformative power of karate and the resilience of the human spirit. It reminds readers of all ages that with dedication, perseverance, and a belief in oneself, anything is possible.

Dr. Meshi was an avid marital artist in her childhood and completed on a national and international level holding records for a number of those years. Her Sensei is considered to be a major pioneer in bringing Karate to the United States from Japan.

He was the inspiration for Pat Morita’s character, Mr. Miyagi, in the Karate Kid series of movies. Dr. Meshi is credited as an Associate Producer for the 2015 film, “The Real Miyagi”.

She believes that participating in the martial arts is healthy for the brain and cognition and can help stengthen the pre-frontal cortex the area of the brain responsible for executive function-impulse control, judgement, time management, planning organization and follow through. A wonderful exercise for children and adults alike.

This book is appropriate for children ages 3-10yo. It is the perfect gift for children planning on or participating currently in the martial arts.
