In this book, the authors present karate in its original concept, a martial art borne from the need to survive. Survival against invaders, survival on the battle field, and in most instances, survival in life-and-death struggles. The writers are Dan Ivan and Paul Godshaw, two of the greatest authorities on the subject today. Ivan, for example, has black belts in karate, judo, aikido and kendo. He also took shotokan karate with Sensei Isao Obata. Godshaw, the regional director for the USA AAU program and chief referee for the AAU Karate Program of America, has also trained in many styles, including shotokan, wadoryu, kobudo, goju-ryu, itosu-kai, aikido and, of course, karate.

Warrior Origins is an account of the history and legends of the world's prominent martial arts and how they share a common heritage. It chronicles the origins of the Shaolin warrior monks, Shaolin Kung-Fu and their celebrated founder, Bodhidharma, who is also considered the first patriarch of Zen (Chan) Buddhism. The book considers Bodhidharma's origins in the context of ancient Persia and its royal houses and continues with the rise of Karate from ancient Okinawan roots to Japan and then into a global sport. It connects the record of Ninja and Ninjutsu and the influence of some of its latter luminaries, including Seiko Fujita, whilst also revealing new evidence on renowned martial artists such as Bruce Lee. This work takes a dramatically original approach to the heart of the martial arts and their founders. Author Dr Hutan Ashrafian, who holds black belt grades in several martial art styles, including a 5th Dan in Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate and championship medals in Karate and Judo at World and European Masters level, delineates the inheritance of these arts using innovative evolutionary approaches to find previously unidentified links between them. Warrior Origins traces the pattern from Bodhidharma to the remarkable diversity of modern martial arts.
