Library's review
Nakayama: I select here several techniques you will be able to master with comparative ease.
Draeger: The few minutes a day you must spend in practice will never be wasted.
-quotes by the authors from Pracitcal Karate: Fundamentals
First let it be made clear that this series makes no ridiculous
All methods described in this book are workable karate self-defense responses based on facing an unarmed assailant. If you have already studied and practiced the necessary karate fundamentals found in the first book in this series, the situations in this volume will be easy to learn.
Mastery of the responses in this text will not make the reader invincible in peronal encounters, but it will certainly better prepare him should defense of his life or that of others become necessary. But only practice will bring results.
Masatoshi Nakayama, Chief Instructor of the Japan Karate Association, and Don F. Draeger, a well-known instructor of combative arts, have authored this book to provide a system of self-defense for the busy individual.
