"Complete Shotokan Karate" is actually two books in one: a thorough history of Japanese karate in Asia and the United States, and an instructional manual for students of the Shotokan method. PART ONE outlines the history of karate from its probable origins in India and its transmission from China through Okinawa to Japan. Relevant aspects of Japanese history and culture, such as the samurai ethos and Zen are emphasized. PART TWO, profusely illustrated with over 600 clear black-and-white photographs and 20 line drawings, outlines instruction for Kumite.
