SynopsisAs one of America's outstanding karate instructors and holder of the black belt degree since 1959, author Roth shares his knowledge of karate based on decades of practice and experimentation. Over 800 techniques and exercises and more than 1,800 photographs reveal the speed and power inherent in properly taught karate. Part One is a general introduction to the history and various rules and formalities of karate. Part Two is devoted to training -- focusing on vital areas of the body, weapons, stances, blocks, attacks, special exercises and more. Part Three covers the elements of sparring such as creating openings, breaking the opponent's balance and closing distances.
