Each card is folded into four sections with a technique on it, clearly and simply explained with excellent & well drawn pictures of the technique or body posture for easy recognition of what is to be achieved.This Shotokan Karate deck is perfect for people who have little time or patience to focus on reading a book (Although Kevin's book "Karate" ISBN 1859061028 is also just as good). Set the deck on your desk at work and pick a card to read and think about each time you need a few minutes break, or set the deck on your table by the sofa at home and read a card each time the commercials come on TV. Or shuffle the cards and pick one card randomly for each week of the year. This is a great way to learn & revise basic karate techniques for everyday life, and gives you something to think about throughout your drive home at night. It also makes a great gift to your friends or work buddies.The 15 page guide gives an introduction to karate, a small history, what's involved in the training, karate etiquette and more importantly how to decide on who to train with and how to choose a dojo or club.
