The Advanced Karate Manual Description

A companion volume to the highly successful Karate-do Manual, now in its sixth edition, this book breaks new ground in martial arts territory by bringing modern scientific advances in sports medicine and psychology to the attention of the martial artist and showing how these advances can be incorporated into individual training programmes. Written for those who have already achieved proficiency in the sport, the book aims to help the reader attain the increasingly high standards of speed, strength and skill required for modern karate competition.
A complete course of stretching exercises is suggested and discussed, incorporating recently discovered physiological advances in muscular kinetics and making use of the PNF method of stretching. The authors look at advances in training methods and provide sequence diagrams and explanatory text to show advanced kick, punch and sweep combinations, which can be practised with or without a partner. Advanced one-
step training with a partner is also demonstrated, covering distance-related techniques and their practical application.
The authors trace the changing trends in competition karate, and discuss the tactical approach and the execution of advanced competition techniques. Other chapters cover the psychological-aspects.of training, overall body conditioning, the use of equipment, and the nature and role of the coach.
Fully illustrated with photographs and two-colour diagrams, and packed with personal observations and anecdotes by the authors, The Advanced Karate Manual will be an invaluable aid to all those who wish to further improve their skills.
