A fun and accessible introduction to studying karate--designed
specifically with the interests and capabilities of young martial
artists in mind.
First-time martial arts students are not just starting a program of
physical and mental practice. They are entering a new world--one that
not only has new rules, new goals, and even new clothing--but that also
offers them lots of new opportunities for fun and accomplishment.
Karate for Kids will help prepare kids to start learning about karate
and help them practice at home. It includes thorough introductions to
the history and philosophy of the techniques, what to expect in the
first few classes, how to warm up and practice, and advice on setting
goals.
With over 75 full-color illustrations, including 40 clearly diagrammed
karate exercises, along with lots of fun facts and informative sidebars
written in kid-friendly, jargon-free language, this is the perfect
introduction for the younger martial artist.
