This guide is a summary of the essential information and does not include illustrations of every technique or Kata movement.
As a Martial Artist, Fitness Coach (and writer) I have been lucky enough to train all around the globe, in locations as diverse as China, Thailand, the USA and many places within the UK, all within a variety of fascinating styles; from Chinese Kickboxing (Sanda), Shaolin Kung Fu, TaeKwonDo, Thai Boxing and Escrima to more esoteric styles such as Xingyi and Chi Gong.
Along this journey I have also been fortunate to have first hand experience training with leading authorities including world champions, Chinese masters and stars of film and TV.
Very basic book without any substantial photography. A technical karate book without any photos is very hard to understand. This book would explore more the historical part of karate instead.
