(The Kata are a sequence of formal karate techniques which form the basis of each practice. All the techniques incorporate a range of difficulty so that each can be taught at varying stages of a student's career. Each move is illustrated and in this fourth volume six of the Shotokan Kata are covered. The Kata include Tekki Nidan, Tekki Sandan, Wankan, Meikyo, Bassai-Sho and Gojushiho-Dai and the text explains each sequence with an investigation of application. The authors concentrate not only on physical conditioning, but also on the correct mental and spiritual attitude for the application of karate)

Karate Kata and Applications: 004

The basis of instruction in Karate, as in all martial arts, is the practice of "Kata." These formal sequences of karate techniques simulate defending and attacking one or more opponents and has been the method by which students have learned and practiced for hundreds of years. A student advances in the study of karate by mastering progressively more difficult kata. Fully illustrated with step-by-step photographs of each Kata, this book teaches the techniques of the Shotokan school of Kata. Complete with the historical background and development of each Kata, the text and illustrations explain each sequence and, more important, the practical application of each. The repetition of practicing the Kata is what enables the karate student to react in what seems a reflex way to an aggressor's attack. After reading and working with this book, the karate student of any level will have a greater understanding of the physical conditioning, correct mental and spiritual attitude behind the basic karate moves.Vince Morris was a senior student of Shiro Asano and has been many times British Team champion of Shotokan Karate Institute. Also a Kata medalist, he was a member of the winning international squad at European level in both Kumite and Kata. Morris established the English Karate Federation and is a former Chairman of the Martial Arts Commission. Aidan Trimble has trained with many of the finest teachers in both "traditional" and "sport" karate. While he was in the Shotokan Karate Institute he was three times British Champion, three times Kata Champion, twice European Team Champion, British All Students Individual Champion, twice England All Styles Kata Champion, and the first World Individual Kumite Champion, winning the title in Tokyo. Morris and Trimble head the Federation of Shotokan Karate and teach throughout Britain and Europe.
