This book featuresClear and insightful explanations of dynamic movement. Over 100 illustrations. Profound but accessible analysis of the kihon, or fundamentals of Shotokan karate. As a lifelong student of martial arts, J. D. Swanson, Ph.D., had searched through piles of books on form and function. "Stand here, step there" they said. But where movement was concerned, none went deep enough. No one was discussing the dynamicsâ?the actual feeling of the moves. Both in print and in live teaching, karate instruction tends to focus on stances and finishing positions. But dynamics, motion, sensation...they are karate's connective tissueâ?and they are the heart of this book. â?oKarate Science: Dynamic Movement is rooted in the teachings of the masters,â?? Swanson says. â?oThis book nucleates that knowledge, clarifying and distilling the key principles behind movement dynamics. This is the next evolution of karate books.â??
