This book is written in a warm and engaging matter that will make this fascinating subject easily accessible to all. Not only do Andy and Darren share their interpretation of the three of the ‘basic’ Katas, but they also cover such subjects as effective power generation, kneeing, head-butting, locks, chokes, strangles and some ways to realistically apply the ‘blocking’ techniques of the forms. It is this kind of knowledge that is needed if we are to ensure that Karate is practised as a pragmatic and effective system.
