The first book available to help students analyse the effectiveness of their karate technique.
Simple does not mean easy, or simplistic. In his new book, martial arts teacher Rick Clark takes the down block, one of the most basic, yet subtle karate techniques, and teaches the reader how to evaluate the effectiveness of his or her practice.
Working through the many variations and different applications of the down block, this book then shows the reader how to make changes and incorporate those changes in a daily routine. Known for his personable, easy-to-understand style, Clark delves into the principles underlying the technique and empowers the reader to optimise the many variations, applications, aand strategies for a complete array of self-defence skills.
The book also reconstructs the other basic techniques, demonstrating that each can be analysed in the same manner, resulting in a purer, more effective karate style.
