Essential Karate ... What an amazing book !

[Safroot]

I have been reading " Essential Karate " By Mas Oyama .. it's such an amazing book.

It starts by how to do a punch through everything till how to deal with street situations (illustrated with pics).

I would recommend this book to everyone interested in Kyokushin Karate.

Now, it's time to get a new book ... time to decide what's next

Here's a great place to look for your next book! I would suggest that you pick up a history book. Start with a book that focuses on the history of Kyokushin, and then pick up a book that focuses on all of Japanese karate. Regardless of your style, knowing the history of other styles can help you to understand yours a lot more.

You're right; it's an amazing book cover to cover. A must, imho, to any MAists library.

"This is Karate" and "Advanced Karate" by Mas Oyama are both amazing too. Great reference materials, though you might struggle to get them for less than a few hundred dollars each nowadays.

Mine are some of my most prized books, and the only books I don't lend out to people (one has had the inner pages signed by Sosai! ).
