good introduction to karate

This books is a good introduction to karate basics for the beginner. The author discusses: * the main blocks, punches and kicks * how to choose a karate teacher and dojo (the training place) * the grading system (the karate belts) * what to expect during your dojo training The book is well-written, clear and well-organized. The information is appropriate for someone thinking about doing karate, and someone who has recently started karate. Someone who has practiced karate for more than a few months would already know this information.

Good, knowledgeable volum

I purchased this book when I decided to finally indulge a curiosity about karate that I've had for a long time. It helped me pick a school that I am quite happy with, as well as helping me a little bit with some of the basic protocol and movements. It also helped me feel a bit more comfortable knowing what to expect and how to behave in the dojo. I'd recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn karate.
