5.0 out of 5 stars A very thorough study of karate; great attention to detail., September 6, 1998
By A Customer
If you need one book on karate, this is the one to have!Written in a very clear no-nonsense style with ample photogaraphic coverage of each technique discussed.Covers it all, from basic hand and foot moves to combinations thereof and sparring, with one partner or several.Especially impressive is the chapter on foot techniques,which discusses front,back,side and roundhouse kicks and how to master them from different angles and positions.Whether you're into karate as sport or exercise this book should definitely foot the bill (no pun intended).Jordan,if you are out there,let us know what you've been up to as we could use another book of your expertise. technique
