Pages : 134

Book Description
Okinawa, the cradle of Karate: The second of the three volumes deals with the deeper applications (Bunkai) of the advanced Goju Ryu Katas Saifa, Seienchin, Shisochin and Seisan. Since elements from Okinawan Torite are also contained in these forms, we will go into the history and properties of special lock techniques in more detail. You will also find some information about the historical development of Naha Te and Goju Ryu. We already presented a part of basic exercises in the first volume when we discussed the Kata Tensho. In this book, the reader will also get to know the deeper meaning of the kata, which is called Ura-Waza. In this connection it was important to show how one can develop different application variants from the Kata, which one usually does not recognize easily at the beginning as a student or a low graduate master.

Book Description
An authoritative text supporting the newcomer to karate with all they need to know, up to black belt level. Packed with photographs detailing techniques and kata (the combinations of techniques students need to master to progress through the belts) this book is designed to take the student step by step through the progression 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.
