This book explains in detail how Okinawan Karate masters attained their awesome Karate Power and how they were able to develop such fantastic powerful techniques. Everything that you wanted to know about Hojo Undo training is explained in this book. There are explanations on the different training methods of Japanese and Okinawan Karate. Learn the secrets of traditional Karate power. Learn the difference between sport Karate and traditional Karate. Traditional Karate focuses on building a complete Karate warrior. It combines mind, body, and soul. For those who are dedicated to the art of Karate, this book is a must for your library. I highly recommend this outstanding manual., With the absence of any work on hojo undo, this book is destined to become an instant success and I am pleased to be able to lend my name to its publication. Mike Clarke's empirical experience and deep knowledge of both Okinawa's fighting arts and the culture in which it evolved make him uniquely qualified to produce a book of this nature.

  • A book that was looking for years and finally i found.

    I bought this book because i was looking for some theoretical basis to practice of Karate Goju Ryu. This book have lot of information about how to enhance the body to practice of Karate, how to improve power and strength, toughness and stamina for Karate and any martial art. Excelent reference.

  • Definitely delivers and worth every penny

    To keep it short and sweet, I finished this book in less than 12 hours from when I first opened it from the package. Full of useful information and already I am planning on creating my own hojo undo equipment using his information.
