Most books on karate usually do not provide complete detailed instructions & illustrations-the fundamentals plus the fine points-that readers hope for. This book fills the gaps left by others. The late Master Masatoshi Nakayama chief instructor of the Japan Karate Association left this book as a testament. It reveals his great experience as a karate competitor & teacher describing & illustrating in detail all the correct movements involved in the particular block punch or kick you want to perfect as well as instructions--on combining blocking techniques with decisive counterattacks. Also included is a glossary of all Japanese karate terms & a guide to their pronunciation.
