Karate & Self Defence

Volume One - Thoughts on Training

This book brings together over twenty carefully selected articles on the subjects of karate training and self defence. It examines subjects as diverse as knife self defence training, the role of tradition in karate training, building safe scenario training, personal kata training and ways to focus training towards self defence.

"To say this book is a collection of articles written by John over a number of years is to do it an injustice. There are supposed, empirical works on karate and self defence that are simply not in the same league as this work and most certainly not as thought provoking." Peter Consterdine
