This heavily illustrated book provides instruction on the grappling methods recorded within the karate katas and shows how these techniques – and the principles upon which they rest – can be applied in a real situation. The information contained within this book will enable you to practice Karate as the effective and complete art that its founders intended it to be.

“At long last, a credible and marvellous book on the application of Karate kata! And not one that skims the surface looking for frills and thrills succeeding to entertain but failing abysmally to prepare one for a real, in your face encounter. Rather this book is an in-depth, thoughtful and thought provoking examination of possibly the deadliest of arts (once fully realised); Karate.

Karate’s grappling methods are not practised in most traditional clubs because they simply do not know that these methods exist. This book will greatly aid in redressing the balance and bringing Karate back to where it belongs in contemporary martial arts, on the cutting edge instead of dying in the water. This is a great and inspired book. Buy it if you know what’s good for you.”

Geoff Thompson – Renowned martial artist (6th Dan Karate), self-protection expert & writer.
