Abstract

Traditional Japanese karate has been included as an official event in the Tokyo Olympics. This book provides easy-to-understand explanations of the basics, techniques, kata, applications, combinations and actual combat.
The video clips, which can be viewed via QR code, reproduce the correct model movements perfectly from the front and side, with slow playback and explanations of key points.
The book also includes easy-to-understand explanations for beginners who want to start karate, starting with the foot movement, centre of gravity shift and change of direction, as well as the rules of karate and diagrams of vital points on the human body.
This is the definitive all-colour, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand karate manual with photos and videos, supervised by the Japan Karate Association!
