The Martial Arts Description

Aikido, karate, kendo, judo ... the very names of these oriental martial arts conjure up visions of invincible power, secret skills and a mystic philosophy.
But how are these powers acquired? What is the secret of their skills and what is their history? These are the questions that this book is designed to answer.
Each section is devoted to one martial art and gives an outline of its history. The principles underlying the art concerned are clearly set out. With the help of colour photographs experienced practitioners illustrate the techniques they employ and in the text the words used to describe the actions are explained.
Having read this book you should be capable of joining a martial arts class confident in the knowledge that you have a basic understanding of what is entailed in a course of training and that the terms are not foreign to you.
Warning. The sports described in these pages are derived from techniques originally developed for use in armed and unarmed combat. They can be dangerous. If you use the martial arts irresponsibly you could injure yourself as well as someone else.
Never use your skills against anyone other than a willing fellow practitioner. Ideally you should practise only under the supervision of a skilled instructor in a proper training session.
