Book Reviews of Anything Goes: Practical Karate For The Streets
Book Review: A great guide to using basic karate techniques for street self-defense.
Summary: 5 Stars
The author of this book is well-known, having numerous books and videos published. This excellent book focuses on the use of basic karate technques for street self-defense. His experience in tag (tournament) karate, which the majority of formal karate schools emphasize, is the same as mine. He realized that real fights are different than competition karate. This book stresses the importance of karate training that is realistic and street combat oriented. In the introduction the author relates his experience in the army as a military police officer. He explained how the tag tournament style of karate he had been taking did not prepare him for the type of violence involved in a street confrontation. The eight chapters cover: Changing your thinking about karate tournament techniques, hand techniques, kicking, close-range techniques, sparring, vulnerable targets, using the environment and some thoughts about fitness and stances. In conclusion, this is an excellent book for anyone taking karate who desires to learn the practical application of the techniques for street combat. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.
