For the first time in history a first generation student of Tatsuo Shimabukuro (1908-1975), founder of Isshinryu Karate-do, is sharing his remembrances, knowledge and insights in book form. Shihan Harry G. Smith (9th dan Isshinryu karate) studied with the founder of Isshinryu karate in Okinawa from 1956-1958.

Progression is a positive trait, as long as one keeps in touch with the past and has a staple backdrop to focus or fall back on. Although the Revised Expanded Third Edition contains all the wording and photographs that are reproduced in both the first edition, as well as this Revised and Expanded Second Edition, it comparatively represents a step into what was, for these latter two books, the future. The year 2019, in which I am writing this foreword, represents respectively 30 years and 20 years into the future since the publication of these two books, so I think this faithful reproduction of the Master Version by Q&I Publications is well timed. For some readers it might bring about nostalgia, for others it might be an eye-opener into a world that is not always truthfully represented, due to commercial or other reasons. For the teachers who I interviewed and have been embodied herein, I hope this Master Version will remain a testament into how they wished to be represented for time immemorial.

Essence of Reflection brings not only the author's martial arts experiences to the forefront, but also his life experiences in order to highlight some reflective thoughts we all can consider along our own respective journeys. A martial arts book from 40 years ago serves as the inspiration for Dan to provide commentary and discussion on an array of topics that can prove beneficial for everyone. Dan Popp began his study of Isshin Ryu Karate in 1982 under his father, Frank Popp. He eventually joined the Order of Isshin-Ryu family in 1996 and is currently ranked roku-dan. Dan is also ranked go-dan in Manasyu Karate, yon-dan in Kendo, and Lakan Isa (1st degree black belt) in Kombatan. Dan was named the 2008 Male Instructor of the Year by the Isshin-Ryu Hall of Fame. In 2013 he was inducted as the 101st member of the Isshin-Ryu Hall of Fame. Dan learned the traditional Japanese art of Shodo under his Kendo sensei, the late Duk Yeong Kim, and continues to practice this art to honor Kim sensei. He has exhibited his art in both Harrisburg, PA and Lancaster, PA. He has previously authored two books about his former Kendo/Shodo instructor: The Floating Brush as well as Sensei's Final Lessons.
