Now your opportunity to practise conscientiously at home has arrived. Simply Karate is a guide to basic karate etiquette, attitude, technique and application. These are the foundation of your karate and should be rehearsed by the beginner and the advanced student alike. Author Mark Richardson discovered martial arts in Japan at the age of six and became a student of 'Kyokushinkai Karate' at age ten. His love of the art and his competition experience sparked an interest in boxing and other martial arts, developing in him a positive attitude and interest in health and fitness. Simply Karate follows Mark's other successful titles, the kick boxercise workout DVD and book FIGHTING FIT; and the cardio and strength workout DVD and book SIMPLY BALL & BAND.
