Description: Shotokan Karate is one of the most widely practised styles of karate in the world. This book covers the fundamental principles and philosophy; main striking, blocking and kicking techniques; and also provides an insight into the mysterious art of Kyusho Jutsu.
Synopsis: Shotokan Karate is one of the most widely practised styles of karate in the world. For most of its history it has been taught clandestinely, with past masters only entrusting their secrets to a select few pupils. This approach has changed dramatically over the last 75 years, with karate being exported throughout the world. Topics include: fundamental principles and philosophy; main striking, blocking and kicking techniques; detailed instructions of moves with descriptions of the most common mistakes; flexibility training and the physiology of stretching, and finally provides an insight into the mysterious art of Kyusho Jutsu.

What Caesar Did for My Salad
