        KARATE INSIGHTS APPLIES TO ALL TRADITIONAL KARATE STYLES offering insights from studies of many other historical figures across the traditional Japanese Budo landscape. THE SUBSTANCE of KARATE INSIGHTS is incorporating the high-spirited power of karate to directly improve the reader’s training and life-style.

Direct lessons and conversations of Hirokazu Kanazawa, Osamu Ozawa, Stan Schmidt, Randall G Hassell are featured. Other teaching insights of Hidetaka Nishiyama, Gichin Funakoshi, and even Miyamoto Musashi are explored.

The calm, disciplined, everyday spirit in the Dojo Kun and the “20 Precepts” are meshed with awareness training and the instant explosive power and skill required to kill even the most violent beast.

Musashi’s “VOID,” the highest stage described by Nakayama in Karate, as the stage where training becomes internalized to the extent that one can react intuitively and correctly to surprise attack.

Comprehensive KARATE TRAINING IS NEVER OLD-FASHIONED, but strengthens and fortifies our weaknesses, stimulates and motivates. It is more relevant and needed than ever. Long term traditional karate training, as a source of effective character-building tools, positive energy, health and fitness, attitude development; it is incredibly empowering!

This book, KARATE INSIGHTS, contains answers to “Karate Spirit Training,” as well as strategies for being prepared for the application of martial art skill sets in a life threatening crisis. It is about keeping inspired, motivated, and keeping the “beginner’s mind.”
