The interest in Kyokushin, the most popular form of karate, is constantly growing, which in turn leads to an increase in demand for literature on this topic. As a complex art, karate requires great discipline and dedication, so it needs to be studied using scientifically grounded methods. The book presents all sections of karate: the main aspects of kihon — stances, strikes, blocks, movements, kata, throws, escapes from holds, breathing methods, and self-defense, working with bo, nunchaku, sai, tonfa, and much more. The authors also consider the sports aspect of karate — the basics of kumite, various technical techniques, and exercises for physical development. The aim of the book is to make karate accessible to everyone, regardless of age and gender. The book will help you progress from the beginner level to the master level, improve self-defense skills, and achieve mental balance and health. Additionally, accurately executed illustrations will aid in easy material absorption. The book is intended for both beginners and professionals.
