A Wealth of Info About the American Sport Karate Scene,
This review is from: Secrets of Championship Karate (Paperback)
70's sport karate female superstar Karyn Turner, with Mark Van Schuyver has produced a good text on the American sport karate scene. Now, I'm not really a fan of American point karate scene, but still found this text interesting about the ins-and- outs of the tournament process and how one can prepare themselves for success in this endeaver.Though I'm not currently teaching and was never a hugh fan of the point system (I prefer full-contact), I did in my youth and sometimes as an adult compete for fun and comraderie. Since this was not my forte, but I thought it was important for my students to compete just for the fun, I picked up this book in 1991. She does a good job in interpreting and commuticating some of Bruce Lee's fighting principles and she gives good ideas about some ring saviness. Though I knew the ideas about fighting, she put them in a very articulate way and so I would recommend this book to my students who really wanted to enter into the field of "sport karate." She covers fighting, katas, and tournament structure. To those individuals who really want to pursue the sport point system and cometition kata arena, this book will be very helpful. For those of us more into full-contact, if nothing else, it may still be an interesting read.
