Book Description

September 10, 2010
At the earliest stages of learning a martial art, students almost exclusively study the physical techniques. It is only after much time and intensive practice that these techniques become automatic. Reaching the point of ingrained movements is a major step in mastering a martial art. Yet when the practitioner learns to become one with himself, the opponent and with nature itself, when the opponent's moves appear as if in slow motion, the practitioner moves without thought and becomes unbeatable.

In Mind Power, Master Kazumi Tabata, Grand Master in the Shotokan and Shorinji styles of Karate, offers his personal teachings as to how martial arts students can reach the point where time seems to slow down, quick movements are seen in slow motion, and the full potential of one's inner power can be harnessed.

1.0 out of 5 stars deeply disappointed, April 12, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mind Power: Secret Strategies for the Martial Arts (Hardcover)
After reading hundreds of books on martial arts and spirituality, this was about the worst one I ever read. I did something I almost never do with a book when I am done reading it,-I threw it out in the garbage! I sure hope his karate skills are better than his book writing. Don't waste your money on this one. The whole book is just his opinions about every subject under the sun, disguised as real wisdom. This book is a waste of time. This is the first review I ever wrote on Amazon and I did it because I was so angry because the book was misrepresented
as being a book on mind power in the martial arts when it seemed to be a mish-mash of garbage.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any serious Martial Artist, December 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mind Power: Secret Strategies for the Martial Arts (Hardcover)
An 8th degree black belt, Master Tabata is the founder and head of the North American Karate-do Foundation - NAKF, in 1967, as well as of the New England Collegiate Karate Conference - NECKC, in 1968.

He is in direct line from the founder of the Shotokan style, Master Gichin Funakoshi. His teacher, Master Iso Obata, was one of Gichin Funakoshi's first students and the first chairman of the Japan Karate Association.

Master Tabata was sent from Japan to promote Karate in North America in late 60's. He has done so most effectively, building a large Karate organization in the North East. He was captain of the US Karate team for two decades, representing the US at many international tournaments. In addition, he was technical advisor to the US National Olympic Committee.

My job has taken me around the world and I have studied in and run school in several countries. Tabata is the best Karate instructor I have ever come across.
