Learning marital arts requires both mental and physical fitness. Those who practice karate, jujitsu, kung fu, and other martial arts spend time learning self-defense, but they also learn discipline, patience, and concentration. Full-color photographs and detailed explanations introduce readers to the basic principles behind several kinds of martial arts, including tae kwon do and judo. Step-by-step instructions teach simple moves, such as snap kicks and hammerfist strikes. Newcomers to marital arts will find the text informative and helpful while those already practicing can revisit important stances and moves to enhance their future performance.
