In Japan "Katsu Tame no Karate" changed full contact karate sparring all over the country and became the best-selling sports book. Its companion video was also immensely popular.
"In the sports world there are strategies and tactics for achieving victory. Karate should also be the same. Other books on karate have always shown basics and kata etc... This book is different because it is the first book that concentrates on winning. This is the kind of book that I wish I had been able to read before"
- Kancho Kazuyoshi Ishii (from the preface)
Chapters on the Seidokaikan theory of winning, analysis of downing
the opponent, stance, punch and kick techniques and their defenses,

history are all profusely illustrated with step-by- step diagrams and
photos to bring your technique to the next level. You don't need to
read Japanese to benefit from this book!
