The Law of the Fist: Introducing the Moo System
Title
The Law of the Fist: Introducing the Moo System
Description
The "EMPTY HANDS" or the "FLOWERY HANDS" was a science, an art, a philosophy. It was practiced by monks who were devout believers in nonviolence more than 1500 years ago. Today we call it Karate, and in our young country we think of it as something new! The author, DR. OLAF SIMON, here gives us a thorough and fascinating history of the art of Karate within India, China, Okinawa and throughout Japan, Korea, and all across the globe. He stresses always its value to the enlightenment of the mind as well as the to the enrichment of the body. He provides, too, a demonstrative view of the actual practice of Karate, listing and explaining the many stances, stepping and turning movements, the "weapons" (hands, feet and head), balance, blocking, breathing, kicking, and the breaking of holds. This book contains over 300 great illustrations, including images of all the stances, stepping, turning, and in fact all if the relevant positions. This is truly a great volume of devotees of the art of Karate.
