Description
Karate Kata Applications by Aidan Trimble and Vince Morris is a comprehensive guide to the practice of karate. This new edition brings together two separate volumes, covering the first thirteen Shotokan kata, from Heian Shodan to Nijushiho. The book provides fully illustrated photographs of each move, accompanied by clear explanations of the kata's 'bunkai' or application. In addition to physical techniques, the authors explore the mental and spiritual aspects of karate practice, providing a thorough investigation into the historical background and development of the kata. This detailed approach makes the book an indispensable resource for all students of karate. With its unique blend of technical instruction and philosophical insight, Karate Kata Applications offers a valuable understanding of this ancient martial art.
