Best Karate Volume 2: Fundamentals: 02

one of a series of invaluable reference books

Great Book

Good

Always to good to revisit this book. Its been around for years but nice to own a new one. Great service too.

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.

Excellent

L'apprentissage des bases sont indispensables pour tous ceux qui veulent véritablement progresser en karaté ou pieds poing, sans terrassement les murs et le toit ne tiendront pas longtemps

Excelente, como toda a coleção Best Karate. Mestre Nakayama, discípulo de Funakoshi foi um grande nome do Karate, e seus livros são muito bem explicados e detalhados. Obrigatório para qualquer praticante ou interessado em Karate.

Great Book, fast delivery!

I had already seen this book far before I purchased it and knew of it's quality.First off this introduction section is phenomenal. I really love the stress on karate as both a physical and spiritual developement, not just a form of fighting. My original dojo felt like a discipline, without any real stress on how to fight and many dojo's I've seen or visited stressed either a 'strike first' mentality or a militaristic combat perspective with no emphasis on the discipline and spiritual developement. The introduction of this book stressed the simultaneous developement of both the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect.So far the rest of the book has been pretty well structured and shows what I would call 'in-depth' photos and sketches of how to achieve a mastery of the fundamentals.If you are serious about karate, or any offshoot of martial arts, this is a must have. From my experience training with a Sensei can be limited and potentially infrequent (with my busy schedule) so when I have a question or am looking to polish my technique without more experienced martial artists present, this book (along with the others from this series) is a must have.

Livro técnico e de boa qualidade. Todo karateka deveria ler e ter sempre em mãos um exemplar para consulta. Osu.
