Winning Tournament Karate

Winning Tournament Karate Is an excellent book for People interested in learning more about traditional Karate. I think Chuck Norris has done an excellent job with this book. Ignore any bad reviews. However I think there could have been a lot more to this book. Mr Norris explains techniques very clearly and his combinations are excellent. Chuck Norris was a 6 times World Karate Champion so I am sure he can teach Karate to a very high standard. Anyone who doubts this should visit Chuck Norris Karate Academy in Texas. Buy the book you will learn a lot. I do hope Mr Norris writes more Karate Books & Maybe books on Bagwork Padwork Mixed Martial Arts and stretching. Chuck Norris holds a 10th Degree Blackbelt in Tang So Do and Tae Kwon Do as well as a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And Mr Norris currently trains under Carlos Machado.

THE BEST

I have read many karate, kung fu, and martial arts books. Most of them have been okay, but this book is the best one of them all. It tells you step-by-step on how to preform techniques. This is an excellent book for the intermediate and advanced students. I recomend it to anyone.

The book offers practical techniques for all martial artists

Chuck Norris a former world middleweight karate champion is the author of a book titled "Winning Tournament Karate". The section of the books which covers attack scenarios is the most worthwhile section of the book. The author does an excellant job through the use of frame by frame photos and text to illustrate various tournament attack scenarios. Each attack scenario's initial move, closing the gap and scoring technique is analyzed and illustrated. Since, the book was published in 1975, there are techniques that are demostrated such as throws which are generally not permitted in semi-contact karate tournaments of today. What you will not see in this book is high flying 360 degree spinning jumping techniques that are seen in tournaments of today. The book however offers sound and practical techniques that can benefit martial artists of all belt ranks.

A classic martial arts primer for succeeding in tournaments

Chuck Norris was a world champion black belt competitor in full-contact, no pads, world-class karate tournament competitions long before he moved his considerable fighting skills to the big screen (with Bruce Lee) and TV screen and video productions. The book outlines proven competition tips that are effective for both beginners as well as advanced students. "Winning Tournament Karate" explains practical, tournament-proven techniques for competition success for children, teenagers and men and women of all martial arts styles and skill levels. A classic book that should be part of any well-balanced martial arts book collection
