A first in the field of Okinawan Te. This work contains incredibly revealing material on this until now semi-secret Okinawan martial art called te! It is another fascinating and mind-opening book from the best-selling author, Mark D Bishop, who is considered to be the most authoritative writer on Okinawan martial arts. Mark D Bishop spent nearly two decades living and researching in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, during the important years of change in the 1970s and 1980s. This work is the third of his trilogy following on from 'Okinawan Karate, Teachers, Styles & Secret Techniques' and 'Okinawan Weaponry, Hidden Methods, Ancient Myths of Kobudo & Te'. Containing many, until now, unrevealed techniques for health and self defence (with and without weapons), it is a must-read for all serious martial artists. There is history, training methods, techniques, how to do, how to teach and, above all, how to avoid or counter potentially harmful conflict through advanced application; how to not only survive, but thrive.
