Japanese Karate Taikan Encyclopedia Book Genwa Nakasone Japanese

Description: DescriptionThank you very much for visiting my page!With karate becoming an official Olympic sport and all concerned in high spirits, the Okinawa Karate Kaikan has opened in Okinawa, the birthplace of karate, as a new hall of fame for the sport. Next August (2018), a world championship of Okinawan karate is scheduled to be held with all the power of Okinawa. Karate is now about to be developed on a completely new stage. In 1991, we reprinted and published “Karatedo Taikan”, which is considered the most important document of the early days of karate, to great acclaim. However, the book has long since been out of stock, and we have decided to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reprint it in a new form in order to revive it as a guide for this new era. In addition to the new edition, we have revised the explanatory notes and included a DVD with digital video clips for the e-book version, which was made possible with a grant from Okinawa Prefecture. The basic kata of karate-do, established by Nakasone Genwatachi as the key to the spread of karate throughout Japan, are demonstrated and reproduced by active karate practitioners. In this book, traditional masters demonstrate the kata generously, and you can feel the enthusiasm for the spread of karate at a time when the style was still in its infancy. This book should be read and studied now more than ever, as we need to return to the origins of karate and open up new perspectives. A5 size, bound in cloth, boxed, title stamped in foil, 1 DVD attached, 452 pages. 90 video clips of kata demonstrations corresponding to this book, 31-minute DVD with valuable images of Okinawa's top karate masters, and a separate printed guide.ShippingWe will ship by DHL or FedEx or Japan Post.International Buyers - Please Note:Import duties and taxes are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
