Using a very stable stance, muscular power is built up slowly in many movements, instantaneously in others, leading to a keen sense of timing for continuous attacks.

It is said that Martial Arts training builds character and self-discipline but to the novice how these valuable character traits are developed is often a mystery.This book explains some of the mystique behind karate training and how martial arts training is more mental than physical.

These tips are applicable to not only karate but to interpersonal relationships, the business world, modern warfare and self-defense. The book goes into great detail on how to be a better tournament competitor from the mental perspective.Much of today's modern training is dedicated only to the physical aspects, with emphasis only on fighting and technique.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to explore karate under the surface." Chris Denwood "We need more books like this: high value, precisely written, innovative and thought provoking.
