Renowned karate master Hirokazu Kanazawa instructs this comprehensive nine-part series that explains and then demonstrates karate principles and techniques like stances, footwork, hand strikes, kicking, blocking, shifting, timing, and posture. Excellent photographic images showing detailed sequences of kata provide an excellent reference for shotokan karate students and instructors alike. Kata need to be practiced regularly on an individual basis, and this book is written with such training in mind.
Our club is directly affiliated with the Shotokan Karate International Federation, headed by Master Hirokazu Kanazawa, 10th Dan. And the demonstrations! Master Kanazawa is, in the author’s considered opinion, not only the finest exponent of conventional tameshiwari that the world of Shotokan has ever produced, but he lays claim to a strange and unique ability in the martial arts, an ability that defies the known laws of science, at least as the author understands them, in that he can reputedly board-break and brick-break selectively in a stack, with either punch or kick. Kanazawa Hirokazu was born in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, in 1931.

Drawing from the methods of the ancient Okinawan weapons experts, his own long and distinguished career in the Shotokan style of karate and techniques chosen from certain of the old schools of Japanese swordsmanship, the author presents his own unique and dynamic method of nunchaku training.
Soke was one of few remaining karateka previledged to have studied under Master Gichin Funakoshi who brought Karate from Okinawa Island to mainland Japan and opened Shotokan Dojo in Tokyo.
He also discusses the importance of winning without fighting, and the reason why many great martial artists improve with age. Despite having being approached on a number of occasions by writers on karate and publishers around the world, the master never consented to make the time available, and all that could be gleaned had to be picked from the patchwork of material covered in interviews in martial arts magazines, and from brief biographical information from books and the master’s numerous technical works, many of which have been pirated in countries where some of the populace seem to have scant regard for the notion of copyright.
For anyone setting out to master karate-do, you hold in your hands a fine book indeed.
