Beneficial for any martial arts enthusiast

As an avid Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, I was able to truly appreciate this audiobook. The chapter I got the most out of was the chapter covering Attacks From Multiple Assailants where I learned not only how to defend myself from more than one attacker, I also learned how to effectively attack them. To master this technique, as I learned for this audiobook, you will have to diligently practice three-man drills and even semi free sparring. Regardless of your martial arts discipline, this audiobook will teach you a great deal about Karate.

Learned a lot!

This book starts with a history of karate, which I found very interesting. I think it's really cool that it started out as an ancient war fighting style. With the invention of modern weapons, that style of fighting was no longer needed, but I love that it's still practiced as a way to remember and pay homage to Japanese heritage. And it's also good for building children's strength and confidence.

Great resource

My daughter has shown an interest in martial arts lately, so i got this books to learn my self about a few basic moves.
I'd like to teach her a few things and see if she's really going to enjoy professional lessons.
We listened together and have begun working on stance.
I noticed you are provided with the skills and what you need to practice to master each technique and i appreciate that.
