Features: This book introduces to domestic martial arts enthusiasts what is known as "the strongest karate," a pure full-contact, practical style of karate characterized by extremely open rules and direct, free striking. Full-contact, practical karate preserves the traditional etiquette, basic techniques, and sparring of Japanese karate while drawing upon and absorbing the essence of excellent combat techniques from other Asian and Western countries, such as Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, American kickboxing (also known as American freestyle karate or freestyle boxing), boxing, taekwondo, and Chinese martial arts. Through significant modifications to the traditional system, it has reconstructed modern combat techniques, tactics, and training models. It strives for concise, effective techniques and their holistic application.
