Generations ago, the banning of weapons in Okinawa created the need for the study of an unarmed style of self-defense, and so the early forms of karate were born. Karate literally translated is 'kara' (empty), and 'te' (hand), or 'way of the empty hand'. Throughout history, many people have enjoyed the individual benefits of studying the art. 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.
