Karate SA - Marsh, Rob

Karate - the way of empty hands - is a form of unarmed combat that had its origins in India and China many hundreds of years ago. Beginning with a fascinating account of its history, Rob Marsh goes on to describe the various styles of karate that are practised in southern Africa today. Then in simple, easy-to-understand language he explains the underlying principles behind this increasingly popular sport, its stances, defensive and attacking techniques, and set sequences of moves or kata. The text is profusely illustrated with photographs and drawings. Rob Marsh has practised Shotokan karate for over fifteen years and holds the rank of 3rd Dan.
