Product Description
Synopsis
Kanazawa, the most respected figure in the karate world, offers a systematic approach to basic karate, and provides an intensive training course in the three main areas: kihon (basics), kumite (sparring), and kata (forms). Using meticulously detailed explanations and photos, Kanazawa provides readers with an intensive self-study training course designed to be accessible to beginners and intermediate level. If practised continuously and diligently over the course of a year, a practitioner will be able to attain blackbelt-level proficiency. The author is a close disciple of Gichin Funakoshi, the father of modern karate and founder of the Shotokan school. Kanazawa founded the Shotokan Karate-do International Federation in 1979, after gaining his impressive reputation in Europe as an official trainer for the Japan Karate Association. The Shotokan Karate-do International Federation now has branches in more than 90 countries throughout the world. He is the author of "Karate Fighting Techniques" published by Kodansha. This is the first English translation of the classic work by Funakoshi's living successor.
