It includes numerous photos and comprehensive information that will vast- ly improve the practitioner's ability. Due largely to their effectiveness, Shotokan and Gosoku Ryu are two of the world's most popular Karate systems. Soke Takayuki Kubota designed this method to overcome a larger and stronger opponent in life-or- death encounters. The purpose of this book is to provide background information on Karate training and its objectives. The art of Karate purposely emphasizes moral abil- ities, rather than physical skills that are in turn viewed as martial virtues. Gosoku Ryu is not a new style of karate-do. It is an evolutionary advancement and re-blending of several traditional methods of empty-hand combat. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45129936830615,"sku":"9781933901688","price":2148.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781933901688.webp?v=1767280730","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/karate-do-a-way-of-life-a-basic-manual-of-karate-9781933901688","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
