## Description

Buy Karate Fighting Techniques: The Complete Kumite Reprint by Hirokazu Kanazawa (ISBN: 9781568365169) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Great book - Great book by the most incredible karate master.
Review: David - This is the first time I've seen every reviewer saying a book is worth 5 stars but that is precisely the case for this book by Kanazawa. If you are an avid karate book collector and practioner that this work has to be in your collection. Very well laid it and crystal clear throughout it really does deliver and is worth 5 stars. As for Neil's comments about its deficiencies in teaching how to compete at kumite tournaments well my opinion is exactly the opposite. Kanazawa provides all you need to know about 'defending' yourself against friend or foe, or competitor or casual acquaintance. If the penny doesn't drop while reading this book then read alongside it the book Karate-Do, My Way of Life by Funakoshi. There you will witness that 'defending' is really also winning, on and off the tatami.
