UCHI-DESHI, literally meaning, “inside student,” is a Japanese term for a live-in student or apprentice who trains under and assists a sensei on a full-time basis. This system exists in Kabuki, Rakugo, Shogi, Igo, Aikido, Sumo, Karate and other modern Japanese martial arts. This book is packed with stories about the lessons that a student experiences from his martial arts master. There are many morals and lessons that every reader can pick up from these short, yet highly important stories. 

A great read for any student of the Japanese martial arts!
