Karate, the fountainhead of the fountainhead Japanese warrior code and today a subject of worldwide interest, is one of Man-kind's most priceless pieces of wisdom. Every one prizes the sort of incredible strength the karate master uses to smash wood and stone with his bare hands, because it is a sort of magic that brings the impossible into the realm of possibility. Though the history of karate is long, its power and techniques are forever new. Karate extends back to Man's origins and con-tinues in usefulness to the present.
As a means of defense, karate has a vigour and power that other martial arts lack. Con-ceived from the wisdom and strength that made life possible for Man's ancestors, karate has fused with modern rationality to become a truly miraculous art of self-defense.
Karate has been the last stronghold of de-fense for tens of thousands of people; it can be yours too.
In this book, Masutatsu Oyama, a karate master standing at the very pinnacle of today's karate world, makes available to everyone the essence of his thirty years of karate study and training. Mr. Oyama poured his whole being into writing this book and has included a large number of special techniques.
Oyama karate begins and ends with points and circles, in which lie the miraculous strength and the life of the system. Through these points and circles, a sense of flowing motion calls forth dynamic waves and creates great billows of strength. Mr. Oyama, whose psychology is based on Zen Buddhism and Shinto, has devel-oped a karate that is serene in movement, and refined and stable in form.
