Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. As a result of Master Kim's influence, McCarthy undertook a deep study of karate's history and philosophy, the research for which continues to this day. After moving to Japan in 1985, he became Master Kim's personal representative in Japan and in 1987 established the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society (IRKRS) as an outgrowth of his research. Mr. McCarthy is a frequent contributor to martial arts magazines throughout the world, author of The Classical Kata of Okinawan Karate, Beyond Physical Training, Kata: Karate's Paragon of Mystery, and translator of Miyagi Chojun's 1934 Outline of Karate-do, The Secrets of Wudang Boxing, Taira Shinken's 1964 Ryukyu Kobudo Taikan, The Matsumura and Itosu Precepts, and the 1936 Meeting of the Okinawan Masters.

"I cannot do better than Mr. McCarthy's description of Bubishi on page 27 of the book, so I will quote that here: " Okinawa's Bubishi is an anthology of Chinese gongfu, its history, philosophy, and application. " The contents of this anthology's thirty-two articles include White Crane gongfu history, moral philosophy, advice on etiquette, comparisons of styles, defensive applications, herbal medicines, training mechanics, and Monk Fist Boxing." McCarthy's translation is broken up into four major sections: - History and Philosophy. - Chinese Medicine and Herbal Pharmacology. - The Vital Points. - Fighting Techniques. Part One: History and Philosophy has translations and commentary from the six chapters of Bubishi that dealt with history, philosophy, & etiquette for the martial artist. It also includes McCarthy's notes on possible origins of the Bubishi document in China, different theories on the origin of Karate-do, history of Karate-do from the Meiji era, and Okinawan Karate-do dynasties. McCarthy is very honest about the facts that (1) no instructions for how to administer the herbs were included, so a person would need to take the list to a Chinese herbalist and have them help figure out what plants needed to applied externally, internally, eaten as a powder, drunk as an infusion, etc., and (2) the prescriptions in Bubishi don't match any current prescriptions in Chinese herbalism, so the information is presented to the reader as is, with no guarantees from McCarthy OR the experts who helped him about whether the prescriptions will be of any use at all. McCarthy also includes some notes on Gongfu Quan, Qin Na, and short histories of six different Fujian gongfu styles, including Monk Fist Boxing and five variations of Crane gongfu."
"My advice for any beginner martial artist who may be reading this, please remember that many of the theories and ideas written in the book have under gone possible loss of meaning through translation; as well as the fact they were written in a less scientifically developed time."
"This book is packed with history, applications and chinese herbal knowledge."
"This is the second translation of the Bubishi that I have added to my library, and I consider both copies very important to my collection."
"I am learning Jujitso and the Sensai is making a lot of references to it."
