Customer Reviews

The serious students starting point.
The Best Karate series is THE definitive reference for the praticing karataka. Fundamentals covers the basic blocks, strikes and stances.

Useful
Now having moved up to yellow belt I can better understand its content. I have regularly diped into this reference in order to better understand the techniques and knowledge my sensi has passed on in the dojo.

The book is all about Kihon (Fundamentals): The generation of power using the hips, developing good stance, the dynamics of moving and changing direction. The key points of basic techniques and coordination.

The text is well supplemented with lots of clear black and white photographs (a picture paints a thousand words).

There is no substitute for time spent in the dojo or practicing your kata in the garage, however, IMHO, time spent reading and absorbing the content of this book WILL benefit you.
