5.0 out of 5 stars The best textbook on full-contact karate, January 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fighting Karate (Paperback)

Ashihara's Fighting Karate has its roots in Oyama's Kyokushin Karate. Though Kyokushin style emphasizes on power and body conditioning, Ashihara refined the technical aspects of the art tremendously. Packed with abundant step-by-step photos and clear instructions, this is the best textbook on full-contact karate for beginners and veterans alike. The same is to be said of Ashihara's subsequent book, More Fighting Karate.
