Best Karate book?

[xo-karate]

Looks like I have tenth edition 1974:-). Very good book that has been with my from beginning of my Karate.

I would use more DVD and Youtube at the moment. Maybe a good book might help to see techniques more clear ( not all on internet is of best quality:-)

If someone would like to learn by them self, I'd videotape and compare learning and doing to other karateka's technique.

Problem might be that learning is not just mimic of doing what others do?

Not everything in technique can be seen.

I like you tube. It gives me a perspective from Karate styles other than Shotokan.

The thing I don't like about it is that we often find competition footage. And competition Karate is often different from actual daily Karate training.
