Breaking News:

WKF’s alleged financial infractions will be investigated by an international fraud organisation under the judgement of the international court. Mr Espinos (WKF President) and some of his officials stand accused of receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from Persian Gulf countries, match fixing with senior WKF referees, lobbying for the election of AKF executive directors and many more allegations besides. Accompanying claims of fake contracts and money laundering are only made more serious by the apparent attempts made at concealing such corrupt activities. It is suspected by some that the Olympics were in fact used as a vehicle to help Mr Espinos hide a large part of the claimed activities.

Now, after almost two decades of apparent mismanagement that saw Karate fail in its bid to feature in the Olympic Games, a WKF secretary has indicated the scale of the corruption runs deep. So much so that the World Karate Federation will now be scrutinized by an international court in Europe. It is feared by many that the result could threaten WKF's status as an official Karate governing body of the world.

Many are now calling for all Karateka across the world to stand up and support the case for justice in the international court. To do their duty and keep Karate clean of corruption.

Dynamic Karate

Dynamic Karate

M. Nakayama

This is an excellent textbook for beginners and advanced Karate-ka alike, and clearly demonstrates a wide range of Karate techniques that are practiced in Shotokan Karate. One of the best features of the book is that most of the photographs show Nakayama Sensei himself performing techniques.

Karate has certainly come a long way since the teachings of Funakoshi Sensei, and this book demonstrates the JKA method of examining and teaching Karate along scientific lines.

To accompany each section based on the foundations of Karate - Dachi, Tsuki, Uke, Uchi and Keri - comes a scientific study of each technique. Through this, Nakayama Sensei’s objective was to scientifically make Karate techniques more effective and better for our bodies. What makes this even easier to follow is the ‘Things to avoid’ section to each technique, providing greater guidance.

Dynamic Karate is easy to follow, and from my own experience, a book you’ll return to over and over again due to its extensive topic coverage. It deals with speed, balance, stability, the hips and many more topics. There are also lists of scientific data that could prove useful in your training and teaching.

The book is beautifully presented with black and white photographs, including some a the young H.Kanazawa being demonstrated upon by Master Nakayama. The book, through its use of both photograph and text, clearly and coherently analyses all of the karate techniques.

Apart from the obvious educational significance of this book, there are some wonderful photographs of Karate greats such as Nishiyama, Kanazawa, Shirai, Asai and Ueki in action. Also included are photographs showing a duel between Enoeda Sensei and Shirai Sensei on a rock near the sea.

This book is a must for all Karate-Ka in my opinion, and will serve as a lifelong aid in your study of Shotokan Karate.
