Compiled and published in 1992, two years after Mr. Parker's death in Dec. of 1990, this work represented a monumental task, a labor of love by the creator, founder and Senior Grandmaster of American Kenpo. From his first day of training, Mr. Parker had been fascinated by Kenpo, it's unique nature kept his curiosity aroused and continually wet his appetite for an ever increasing knowledge throughout his life. As he pursued knowledge by dissecting motion, he reaffirmed his belief that logic was the key ingredient influencing consistent organized methods of study. Structuring his work, he achieved clarity along with the ability to modify and update newly discovered concepts, theories, and principles. Mr. Parker developed a distinctive method of converting verbal language into physical language as he personalized lessons through the use of analogies, sayings, and short stories. This personalized teaching method allowed him to expand unilaterally, resulting in a generation of new concepts as well as a new and equally terminology, devised, developed and included in the Kenpo experience. Together with the other writings of Mr. Parker, this volume brings together, into a cohesive whole, the mind of a Master of Motion. His admonition is straightforward and simple, "Study the contents of this book, and make learning a delightful experience. Allow Kenpo to become your second language if you are not already bilingual. Master the Kenpo language, and expand your knowledge beyond your expectations. Most importantly, remember that this language of motion, one physically ingrained and internalized, can save your life."

Nineteen kata ("forms") of karate-the art of self-defense without weapons-are presented here in complete detail. They are the ones selected by the great master and teacher, Gichin Funakoshi, to give comprehensive training in Karate-do, the way of karate. Fully illustrated demonstrations by the translator cover not only every technique of the kata but also the fundamentals and applications: how to make a fist; the correct form of the open hand; preliminary training in blocking, striking and kicking; the seven stances; and sparring. The author presents, besides kata that he himself originated, beginning and advanced kata from both the Shorei school and the Shorin school, the former remarkable for their forcefulness and development of strength, the latter characterized by their gracefulness and lightning swiftness. This book, the most comprehensive and authoritative ever published, was being revised by the author shortly before his death in 1957, at the age of eighty-eight, and is translated for the first time. Through his advice on both practical and spiritual aspects of training, the master guides the student from techniques to the Way of karate. Complementing the English edition are illustrations of National Treasures from Kofuku-ji and Todai-ji temples in Nara and Master Funakoshi's calligraphy. Karate, whose value for the well-rounded development of strength, coordination and agility is scientifically validated, can be practiced at any time and in any place, for any length of time, by men and women of all ages, and requires no special equipment. It also fosters the development of spiritual qualities: courage, courtesy, integrity, humility and self-control. Gichin Funakoshi's karate books, the first published in 1922, are landmarks, for the development of this martial art in Okinawa was shrouded in secrecy, and almost no records of its early history, dating back more than a thousand years to the Shao-lin Temple in Hunan Province, China, exist. Karate-do Kyohan is a book that lives up to its title: it is in truth the master text for karate instruction at all levels and in all aspects of technique and character development.

This is one interesting old book that pre-dates the current Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fade with the publishing of possibly the first multi-disciplined fighting form (which included Judo, Jiu jitsu, Karate, Savate, Yawara, Aikido, and Ate-Waza). This fighting system for practical self-defense in this book was published at a time when martial arts instruction in the United States was hard to come by for the average citizen. The easy to comprehend format of this fighting system, was one of Tegner's main contributions to self-defense; he dispelled a lot of the myths about the martial arts and brought realism to the forefront again with a combative focus. One of these myths was the myth of the "Black Belt as a superman". In this book Tegner's wrote, "Contrary to popular belief, the first black belts were not deadly killers; they were skilled sportsman." The book covers a detailed 21-Day program of instruction that requires the practitioner to learn the fundamental lessons of this self-defense system in a structured

This book was designed to be the beginning of a series but it definitely stands alone. Dr. Smith gives a photographic summary of the three main hand forms of Wing Chun, all in one book. But of more interest is his analysis, as he says according to scientific principles, of the system as represented in its basics and in the forms.

Мы представляем русскоязычному читателю два наиболее авторитетных трактата, посвященных бусидо — «Пути воина». Так называли в древней Японии свод правил и установлений, регламентирующих поведение и повседневную жизнь самураев — воинского сословия, определявшего историю своей страны на протяжении столетий. Чистота и ясность языка, глубина мысли и предельная искренность переживания характеризуют произведения Дайдодзи Юдзана и Ямамото Цунэтомо, двух великих самураев, живших на рубеже семнадцатого-восемнадцатого столетий и пытавшихся по-своему ответить на вопрос; «Как мы живем? Как мы умираем?». Мы публикуем в данной книге также и «Введение в «Хагакурэ» известного японского писателя XX века Юкио Мисима, своей жизнью и смертью воплотившего идеалы бусидо в наши дни.
