Do you feel self-confident enough to handle any situation that might arise? If not, prepare for a radical change in your life. Here, on these pages, the world-renowned karate Master shares with you his own philosophy and techniques that he has developed over a period of many years.

By means of diagrammatic photos, the Master describes every important aspect of karate, starting with the basic elements - the hand, the foot, the elbow - and leading up through their use in actual training and combat situations, such as the kata (forms), kumite (sparring) and tameshiwari.

When you have reached this pinnacle, you will have achieved Mas Oyama's own life goals through karate - serenity, extremely good health, and the inner and external strength that will enable you to be gentle and courteous to anyone because you know you can afford to be.
