Download or read book Simply Karate written by Mark Richardson and published by Penton Overseas, Inc. This book was released on 2005-03 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations ago, the banning of weapons in Okinawa created the need for the study of an unarmed style of self-defense, and so the early forms of karate were born. Karate literally translated is 'kara' (empty), and 'te' (hand), or 'way of the empty hand'. Throughout history, many people have enjoyed the individual benefits of studying the art. Now your opportunity to practise conscientiously at home has arrived. Simply Karate is a guide to basic karate etiquette, attitude, technique and application. These are the foundation of your karate and should be rehearsed by the beginner and the advanced student alike. Author Mark Richardson discovered martial arts in Japan at the age of six and became a student of 'Kyokushinkai Karate' at age ten. His love of the art and his competition experience sparked an interest in boxing and other martial arts, developing in him a positive attitude and interest in health and fitness. Simply Karate follows Mark's other successful titles, the kick boxercise workout DVD and book FIGHTING FIT; and the cardio and strength workout DVD and book SIMPLY BALL & BAND. "If you fall in love with the art of karate as I have, you will develop a devotion to the fitness aspect of your training as you concentrate more and more on perfecting your technique, speed and power." - Mark Richardson Karate will ultimately affect your whole body. Your flexibility will increase, along with your physical fitness, and as a consequence your strength and stamina will also improve. Join Mark on the journey through Simply Karate. Your karate and your body will both benefit from the book and DVD workout. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budo, the way of the martial arts, is at heart a path of spiritual cultivation and self-realization whose aim is to develop a strategic mind that makes combat unnecessary. Kenji Tokitsu explains the philosophy of karate as budo and looks deeply at the key concepts that are essential for developing the budo mind in karate practice. These concepts are: • distance and timing, • rhythm, anticipation, and intuition, • and the cultivation of explosive but focused energy. These concepts are difficult to teach, but mastering them is the ultimate goal of any true martial artist. Tokitsu expertly guides the reader through these elusive ideas with clarity and a practical view.

The authors have systematically organized their experiences and research into easily digestible segments and have included numerous photographs throughout the text. This book will inspire you to train even more diligently, and the experiences and research shared here will be useful on the journey of any traditional martial artist.
