Summary: Excellent perspective of karate in modern language
Review: This book have many features. First: It make you realize the wrong way to move, and demonstrate how to keep out from injure yourself. Second: It teaches you how karate can be a healing excercise when correctly perform. Third: It teach those particular movements that are not frequently teach in class. Never, never substitude a class with a book, but this kind of book can be an excelent complement to martial art instruction. I have only near 4 years in the art, and I started old (25), but I got this book from the beginning and it prepare me to withstand and follow the class in a very good rate. I not only recommend this book to students, I recommend it to Teachers, 'cause it will get them in the correct perspective of the movements.

Summary: A boon for the mature martial artist
Review: Unfortunately, anatomy and physiology is not commonly taught in martial arts classes. The need for some knowledge of these fields becomes more apparent the older the age of the student. Not only does the older student take longer to heal from injuries, but repetitive stress injury becomes a real possibility. This book addresses these issues in a forthright, helpful manner. Perry Sensei has put together a collection of text, diagrams and photographs that illustrate the common ways that even seemingly simple moves can be executed in a fashion that can cause injury. This information is totally applicable across the divisional lines of modern martial arts. His Shotokan background speaks as strongly to my Tae Kwon Do training as to his own discipline. I highly recommend this work.
