About this product
Product Information
Challenging timeworn conventions of karate training and revealing the original intent of classical kata --or forms--through detailed descriptions of self-defense applications known as bunkai , this is a crucial addition to any martial-arts library. Containing more than 265 photos, the book is divided into chapters that illuminate each of the ten classical kata of Goju-ryu. Drawing on more than forty years of experience in the martial arts, Giles Hopkins Sensei takes us on a journey into the Goju-ryu karate system, providing a principles-based method for analysis of kata practice. Arguing against the commonly held notion that kata techniques can have multiple interpretations, he insists that a kata cannot simply mean what the user wants it to mean, but contains specific martial principles that must be followed for it to work effectively. The step-by-step descriptions of the receiving, controlling or bridging, and finishing techniques contain in-depth analysis of commonly misunderstood aspects of kata. Each chapter concludes with an engaging anecdote from the author's time in Okinawa, the birthplace of Goju-ryu, connecting it with the kata under discussion. Equally useful for the novice and for more advanced karate practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of kata and bunkai.

Took a quite a while to arrive and when it did it was bent/damaged and useless. No actual Projects, large text using roughly 1/3 of the page to tell you absolutely nothing. A 5th grader from any city in the country could write a better more informative book during recess. Waste of energy time and money.
