This review is from: Complete Karate (Paperback)

I am a martial artist who believes like bruce lee did that you should study all the arts and not have one set form .Okinawan Karate being one of my arts I can truly say that this was a really good book. It gives you all of the basic stances, kicks, punches, and blocks. It also has many advanced techniques. But the book doesn't stop there. It goes on into nutrition, workouts, and stretches. Also, it includes sparring (kumite), tournaments, and forms (kata). I love this book.
