Kids Get Their Karate Kicks!!!

I have been involved in the martial arts for more than half of my life and much of that time has been spent teaching children. Without a doubt this is one of the best books for children about karate! It follows Nick, a real-life young karate-ka, during his preparations for a karate tournament. Throughout the story the reader is introduced to the various aspects of karate, including history, philosophy and training. Not designed to teach young people how to hurt each other, this book gives the reader a true picture of what real karate is all about. A must read book for all young karate students and parents of future karate champions! Henry McCann (3rd dan Shorin-ryu Karate, 2nd dan Isshinryu Karate)
