| There
have been numerous books written on the subject of Karate,
including many that claim to show an easy, step-by-step, way
of becoming a black belt by the third chapter. In a martial
art such as Karate, it is extremely rare to find a book that
can help the student with the physical aspect of Karate to
any great degree. However, every now and then a publication
appears on the bookstands that can do just that. One such
book is this one. The following pages contain a wealth of
information on the Kihon, Kata, and Kumite aspects of Traditional
Shotokan. Written in an easy to follow manner, and supplemented
by an extremely comprehensive set of photographs, this handbook
is easily one of the more superior publications available.

All Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 - April 23, 2004
This book was written by the 6th dan chief instructor
of TISKA sensei Gursharan Sahota. It is an excellent book
and invaluable training aid. It should only be used as a guide
and not a replacement of a regular sensei.It features all
kata needed to get to green belt including bassai dai,wankan
and bunkai for all kata. It also has a guide to about 10 different
block, lots of kicks including Mae Tobi Geri (front jumping
kick) and Yoko Tobi Geri (Flying Kick). It includes all grading
syllabi belt ranks and warm up exercises as well as a chapter
dedicated to self defense. Its glossary means you can look
up pronunciations of all japanese words used in the book.
