The true essence of karate-do is integrated training of the body, mind, and spirit to fully achieve human potential. 'Karate: Technique & Spirit' describes in detail all the steps necessary to attain this goal. It is a book of technique, a guideline for training, and a patient exposition of moral philosophy.
Kaicho (grand master) Nakamura takes us from the basics - warm-ups, punches, blocks, and kicks - to the advanced practice of traditional weapons and kumite (sparring), all the while grounding the physical expression of karate-do in its rich history and philosophy.
With over 700 photos, the book vividly conveys the essence of karate-do and how it can bring deeper meaning to our daily lives.
