This book fills the gaps left by others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late Master Masatoshi Nakayama, chief instructor of the Japan Karate Association, left this book as a testament. It reveals his great experience as a karate competitor and teacher, describing and illustrating in detail all the correct movements involved in the particular block, punch, or kick you want to perfect, as well as instructions — on combining blocking techniques with decisive counterattacks. Also included is a glossary of all Japanese karate terms and a guide to their pronunciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of the lightning speed of karate techniques, normal camera work often fails to record the action accurately. For this reason, many of the photo sequences found in \u003ci\u003eDynamic Karate\u003c\/i\u003e were taken using a stroboscope with a flash time of 1\/10,000 of a second, enabling you to follow each movement as it is actually performed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kodansha USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055400567024,"sku":"9781568364131","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781568364131_p0.jpg?v=1763775340","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781568364131","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
