Introduction to Karate-do:
A Study Guide for Beginning Students of Shotokan - Ohshima Karate
by Michael Mantz and Tom Muzila
*** Spiritual Book Gift with this order ***

The book is focused toward beginning students of Shotokan - Ohshima Karate. It covers basic history, how to acquire the proper attitude toward practice, and karate's foundational structure. Proper forms of the hand, striking, kicking, and blocking are addressed. Forms (katas) and sparring or fighting (kumite) are explained at a level appropriate for the beginning student.

All the information educates students on important facets related to a strong understanding of karate fundamentals and the deeper elements of karate's true nature. It includes not only the practice and training of karate, but also principles that can be directly applied to achieve a more successful life.
