Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at a Far Mountain is a remarkable comprehensive survey of the core of kendo, an internationally practiced martial sport derived from the ancient Japanese warrior art of the sword and heavily influenced by the tenets of Shinto, Confucianism, and, particularly, Zen Buddhism. This is the first study outside of Japan and the first in English of the history, philosophy, and technical aspects comprising the system of predetermined sword techniques knows as Teikoku Kendo Kata. Lavishly illustrated with historical photographs and encompassing a history of the kendo kata tradition, technical training and advice, the individual kata themselves, lineage charts of particular schools and notable kendo masters, and a complete glossary of kendo terms, Looking at a Far Mountain remains firmly anchored in the Japanese tradition while addressing the growing international corps of kendo practitioners.

Book excerpt: Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal, philosophical, and historical exploration of Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate written by an experienced master. In Wandering Along the Way of Okinawan Karate, Giles Hopkins draws on his fifty years of martial arts experience to take the reader on a journey through the meaning of kata (form) and bunkai (application) in Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate. Hopkins offers his personal reflections on the enigma of karate kata while explaining many of its little-understood applications. With skill and insight into kata's connection to nature, the book addresses key topics such as why some movements are done slowly while others are fast, the significance of steps and turns, and the role of tradition in karate. The purpose of kata solo patterns is to solidify specific self-defense techniques. Contrary to the commonly held belief that kata techniques can have multiple interpretations, Hopkins argues that kata embodies specific martial principles that must be followed rigorously for it to be truly effective. He also reveals the spiritual dimensions of martial arts by explaining its deep connection to nature. Providing new understanding of kata structure, themes, and martial art principles, Hopkins sheds light on the practitioner's journey.

Book excerpt: New 2nd edition with added chapters, diagrams, and photos. Now available in paperback and digital. This book was written exclusively for Amazon by IKA World Karate Champion and instructor, Rod Kuratomi. It fills the mental void that exists in modern martial arts training. It is said that Martial Arts training builds character and self-discipline but to the novice how these valuable character traits are developed is often a mystery.This book explains some of the mystique behind karate training and how martial arts training is more mental than physical. Also covered are modern renditions of what the combat mindset is and how to be a more aware and formidable opponent both on the street and in the ring. These tips are applicable to not only karate but to interpersonal relationships, the business world, modern warfare and self-defense. The book goes into great detail on how to be a better tournament competitor from the mental perspective.Much of today's modern training is dedicated only to the physical aspects, with emphasis only on fighting and technique. Without addressing the mental aspects, the system becomes only a method of fighting, and the "Art" is lost. The "Do" in karate-do refers to "The Way", the way being the road to spiritual enlightenment, utilizing karate as a vehicle to get there. Development of the karate spirit is perhaps the most important aspect of the art. This reference is a compilation of concepts and ideas which are dedicated to the spiritual aspects of Karate-Do and how utilize them to become a better competitor and enjoy better living through the way of karate. The following was learned first hand by experiencing everything written here over a period of more than 40 continuous years of martial arts training. Everything written here was learned over that time period first hand. It is the authors hope that by reading this book, you can accelerate your understanding in much less time.Rod Kuratomi is a 7th degree black belt - Kyoshi, in Gosoku Ryu karate under 10th degree black belt, Grandmaster Soke Takayuki Kubota of the International Karate Association. He is the technical director for the world-wide organization and is the successor to Soke Kubota in the Gosoku Ryu karate system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart of traditional karate is found within the kata. Naihanchi (Tekki) Kata is one of the original training forms and various versions of it can be found today in karate styles derived from the old Shuri-Te lineage on Okinawa. It is a vital part of karate's heritage handed down from the pioneering masters of our past. In this thought-provoking publication, Chris Denwood presents his own approach to traditional karate through Naihanchi Kata, featuring a step by step guide and an avid exploration of its true depth. Using five layers of analysis, Chris examines in detail how the movements of Naihanchi Kata represent a series of lessons, based on holistic themes and principles that when applied, show why this seemingly superficial kata has been revered by serious practitioners for generations. Volume one introduces the Kata, focusses on developing a solid foundation and investigates a number of the most important lessons on structure and dynamics to be found within the movements of the form.
