Start Karate Description

This karate manual contains instructions on the basics and beyond, and there are step-by-step photographs of junior champions demonstrating each technique or exercise. It covers what to wear, warm-up exercises, opening rituals, meditation, stances, blocks, kicks, counter moves and combinations.

'On the back' of Start Karate

Anyone can learn karate, and this is the place to start-with clear, simple instructions and hundreds of photographs that show kids going through the basics, and beyond.

Start with meditation to focus your mind on karate. Then go on to the beginning punches, kicks, stances, and blocks without ever touching your opponent. Find out that it's not only fun to learn karate, but that you'll become stronger and more disciplined, and have more self-control in difficult situations. And you'll feel great about yourself!

Once you learn the basics, like the "karate-chop," or shuto, and the roundhouse kick, you can combine them in a "kata," or series of movements that work together, and practice "kumite," or free-style spar-ring. Here's a great companion for your work in your own karate class-you can take START KARATE with you, even up to entering a karate tournament where you could win trophies and prizes. All it takes is practice and hard work!

So, clear your mind and get ready to start karate!
