Book Description
With over 300 detailed pictures Ananko Kata Form & Function shows how a kata can be deciphered, analysed and practised allowing it to become an effective tool for a physical confrontation.

This book isn't about the Ananko Kata or the Bunkai, it is more about a Martial Arts Instructor on his own personal journey, that has required him to remove the blinkers of a single style and approach his art and training laterally, which is how our founding fathers of this beautiful world of Martial Arts intended us all to study and grow-Al Peasland

Book Description
Time moves on, cultures change with the twists of history and secret arts are lost. To understand the essence of karate, kobudo and te is to read and digest this work. To devour the mysteries of the secret principles it records is to dwell in a former time, only then will the reader know the true meanings of what the masters passed on. This book was a classic of the 20th century and, with the passing of time, is now considered to be an historic record for the modern era; both a time capsule and an integrated tool of knowledge transmission. Also featuring contributions from the latest breed of expert researchers, this Expanded Third Edition keeps the original version alive in its entirety, while bringing the Okinawan karate world up to date, as it expands into an ever-increasing international world. Be warned though, it also answers questions that have not been asked until now and topics that could not have been discussed, while expanding on newly debatable issues. This is what the masters were really saying
