Nakayama Masatoshi, Draeger Donn F. Practical Karate. Volume 1: Fundamentals of Self-Defense

Tuttle Company, 1991. — 112 p.Practical Karate: Fundamentals of Self–Defense is the first volume in the classic six–volume series by Masatoshi Nakayama and Donn Draeger. Written for those too busy to devote hours a day to Karate training, it is a serious introduction to the basic elements of self-defense. The secrets of self–defense can be summed up in the proverbs: 'a wise man avoids danger’ and 'to run away is the best way to win.' Yet, sometimes you are not able to choose these courses. I select here several techniques that you will be able to master with comparative ease, thus protecting yourself more effectively against any unarmed assailant.
