of Shotokan Karate, taking each belt in turn. Photographs and clear
instructions take you step by step through the kata. Karate is a
martial art that focuses on the application of strikes using
predominantly the hands and feet. It originated in Japan and has
become popular throughout the world. There are many styles of
karate but the most widely practised outside of Japan is Shotokan
Karate. Training in karate is normally divided into three sections:
the basic technique; kata, or sequencing of techniques to imaginary
opponents; and kumite, the sparring done with an opponent. In total
there are ten gradings to be passed in order to get a black belt -
this, on average takes a student four years to attain. This book
covers all the training needed to attain a black belt. This new
edition includes brand new material on partner work, more grading
tips to help you avoid making common mistakes, and new footwork
diagrams to help you understand the movements better. An
indispensable guide.
