Publisher's Synopsis
More than an instruction manual for serious martial-art trainees, teachers and researchers, "Karate, Kobudo & Te, Self-Defence Applications Decoded", is a book on self-defence for everybody from any background. It is often said that confidence in oneself is gained through knowing practical self-defence; however, personal self-defence needs to move with the times. Following suggestions from the publisher and interested readers, this work is the amalgamation of two previous books by the author on decoding practical self-defence. Both former books are reproduced herein as Part One and Part Two, with some upgrading of the original text, the addition of a General Foreword and the revamping of the Epilogue Notes. In an ever-changing and challenging world, this two-in-one, united arrangement works extremely well for those wishing to learn self-defence against empty-hand attacks, aggressive groups, as well as those armed with blades.
