DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Generations ago, the banning of weapons in Okinawa created the need for the study of an unarmed style of self-defense, and so the early forms of karate were born. Karate literally translated is 'kara' (empty), and 'te' (hand), or 'way of the empty hand'. Throughout history, many people have enjoyed the individual benefits of studying the art. Now your opportunity to practise conscientiously at home has arrived. Simply Karate is a guide to basic karate etiquette, attitude, technique and application. These are the foundation of your karate and should be rehearsed by the beginner and the advanced student alike. Author Mark Richardson discovered martial arts in Japan at the age of six and became a student of 'Kyokushinkai Karate' at age ten. His love of the art and his competition experience sparked an interest in boxing and other martial arts, developing in him a positive attitude and interest in health and fitness. Simply Karate follows Mark's other successful titles, the kick boxercise workout DVD and book FIGHTING FIT; and the cardio and strength workout DVD and book SIMPLY BALL & BAND. "If you fall in love with the art of karate as I have, you will develop a devotion to the fitness aspect of your training as you concentrate more and more on perfecting your technique, speed and power." - Mark Richardson Karate will ultimately affect your whole body. Your flexibility will increase, along with your physical fitness, and as a consequence your strength and stamina will also improve. Join Mark on the journey through Simply Karate. Your karate and your body will both benefit from the book and DVD workout. Book jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Linking the time when karate was a strictly Okinawan art of self-defense shrouded in the deepest secrecy and the present day, when it has become a martial art practiced throughout the world, is Gichin Funakoshi, the "Father of Karate-do." Out of modesty, he was reluctant to write this autobiography and did not do so until he was nearly ninety years of age. Trained in the Confucian classics, he was a schoolteacher early in life, but after decades of study under the foremost masters, he gave up his livelihood to devote the rest of his life to the propagation of the Way of Karate. Under his guidance, techniques and nomenclature were refined and modernized, the spiritual essence was brought to the fore, and karate evolved into a true martial art. Various forms of empty-hand techniques have been practiced in Okinawa for centuries, but due to the lack of historical records, fancy often masquerades as fact. In telling of his own famous teachers--and not only of their mastery of technique but of the way they acted in critical situations--the author reveals what true karate is. The stories he tells about himself are no less instructive: his determination to continue the art, after having started it to improve his health; his perseverance in the face of difficulties, even of poverty; his strict observance of the way of life of the samurai; and the spirit of self-reliance that he carried into an old age kept healthy by his practice of Karate-do.
