Karate, which is fundamentally a systematized method of unarmed combat - the word Karate itself literally translates as 'empty ha nd' - is a protective (as opposed to an aggressive) art One of the major precepts of Karate is that there is no 'first attack'. Karate is more than a par excellence fig hti ng art, or a sport. The term Karate-Do (the w ay of Karate) implies a higher degree of aspiration than merely learning to punch, block and kick effectively ; it is the ultimate t raining for both the body and mi nd, and its highest endeavour is to show the way to spiritual tranquillity and the sere ne state which most men have sought, but few found, since time immemorial. The authors, both professional instructors, are very aware of the great gap found in virtually ali available Karate books for the beginner and advanced student in that there is little attempt to link the basic techniques shown in the books with the realities of combat. Drawing on their teachi ng experience in the martial arts field, the authors have produced a book covering comprehensively the basic techniques to meet the demands of the beginner and, for the more advanced student, an explanation of the use of the fundamental techn iqu es in sparring, predetermined free f ighting and competition fighting . Over 500 photographs demonstrate the various sta nees, techniques and the Kata forms in step-by-step sequences. This book also covers in a simple yet compr,ehensive way those 'grey areas' of Karate training on which the student encounters difficulty in obtaining satisfactory information - the use of the striking boards (Makiwara) and the method and purpose of breaking technique (Tameshiwara). Whether you view Karate as a way of life or simply as a stimulating sport, this book really does tell you ali you need to know about the subject in a lively and fascinating way. About the authors. B.
