Karate kids 101 Beginners guide to traditional style karate: How to start traditional style karate

Karate Kids 101 is a visual guide to traditional style karate’s first steps. It starts with the basics--how to tie a belt, stand, punch, kick, block--and also covers two basic forms or “kata” This book is for beginning students looking for step by step pictures of the basic techniques practiced in traditional style karate. Karate is for everyone. Children as young as 4 years old can start if parent(s) participate. In my classes there are lots of 4-year old karate kids. How about senior citizens? Of course they can practice too. They become healthier, younger, and full of energy. It is the first book from Tokyo’s Shingetsuryu Karate School Japan master, Yasushi Abe.
