The path of Karate-do can be a difficult one to follow as it is often obscured by clouds of distraction which can hinder the progression of even the most sincere student. This book is the author's attempt to help part some of those clouds in order to assist with the journey. Covering diverse subjects such as kata application, combative mindset, self-defense, learning and teaching, conflict management, and Okinawan history; the author draws upon his extensive experience of real combat and in-depth research conducted in Okinawa to present a series of articles exploring various elements of Okinawan Karate and culture. Generously illustrated throughout with numerous photographs from the author's personal collection, this book can be enjoyed by practitioners of all styles, whether beginner or advanced.
