Karate is a Japanese martial art based on techniques developed in Okinawa and China that focuses on self-defense using punches, kicks, and blocks. Despite this emphasis, other techniques such as joint locks, throws, and leg sweeps are also included in the system. Karate is one of the few martial arts to contain such a wide range of techniques. This book is aimed at the student of shotokan karate.
There are many styles of karate, for example goju-ryu, wado-ryu, and shito-ryu, but ultimately each style of karate teaches the same principles, just with a different emphasis. A punch is still a punch; a kick is still a kick. The Shotokan Karate Bible is intended to be a guide for the karate student, from beginner right through to expert, when you would be tested to receive the coveted black belt. Studying from a book is no substitute for a good teacher, but it can complement training with a qualified instructor
