The distressing reality, for most kata bunkai students, is that there is very little 'real' application in the world today, outside Japan. That which is taught as 'bunkai' tends to be Monkey See - Monkey Do - very few really understand the highly technical and effective nature of this 'secret' part of karate.
This book by Andy Paskin and Darren Westwood doesn't just uncover the brutal nature of karate kata application - it literally rips the shroud of secrecy from around it and cleaves the mystery from it.
The book takes a pragmatic, sometimes controversial and always brutally honest look at modern karate as it is and as it was meant to be. Price: £16.99
