Customer Reviews

One of the best martial arts books ever written.

This is an outstanding book authored by world-renowned karate master Shihan Bobby Lowe. The photographs are excellent and the text is easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone interested in true karate.

An essential reference work for Kyokushin Karate.

This book, first written in 1965, is the essential reference text after Mas Oyama's 3 main books on Kyokushin Karate;"What is Karate?", "This is Karate.", and "Advanced Karate". The goshin jitsu and gyaku kumite in the book formed part of the basis for Shihan Lowe's early training with Oyama Sosai during the early 1950's in Japan. Any student of Kyokushin Karate must have a copy of this text to complete their reference library.
