So as an example one of the quotes featured is 'closest weapon, closest target'. This illustrates the principle of speed in sparring. Often the closest hand to your opponent is the best weapon, as it reduces the chance of being seen and also being blocked too.So in terms of kata this book will give you tips on how to relax, how to develop explosive movements and also how to develop great stances when performing.Habit and mindset are two very important things to any martial artist. Due to the repetitive nature of karate we develop habits. Once a habit is formed it is very hard to break. As Einstein once said the definition of insanity is 'doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results'. As humans are creatures of habit, this section helps you to train your mind to form better training habits and be as awesome as possible.Possibly the most important factors for any martialartist determination and spirit. These two things can be applied from a sports perspective, where by a lack of determination or a broken spirit can be the difference between winning and loosing, where as in a self defence situation this can have more serious consequences. These tips can aid you to developing a stronger mind and help you achieve both your karate goals and also life goals too.Overall this book will help all martial artists at any stage of their journey to develop and strengthen both physically and mentally.
