{"product_id":"karate-do-mark-grigorian-9781933901688","title":"Karate-do: A Way of Life: A Basic Manual of Karate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is considered by many experts as the ultimate guide to IKA Karate in the styles of Shotokan and Gosoku Ryu, and a \"must read\" for all Karate prac- titioners. It includes numerous photos and comprehensive information that will vast- ly improve the practitioner's ability. Due largely to their effectiveness, Shotokan and Gosoku Ryu are two of the world's most popular Karate systems. Soke Takayuki Kubota designed this method to overcome a larger and stronger opponent in life-or- death encounters. The purpose of this book is to provide background information on Karate training and its objectives. The art of Karate purposely emphasizes moral abil- ities, rather than physical skills that are in turn viewed as martial virtues. Gosoku Ryu is not a new style of karate-do. It is an evolutionary advancement and re-blending of several traditional methods of empty-hand combat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Grigorian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1933901683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933901688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Empire Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Mark Grigorian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937542439167,"sku":"9781933901688","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7853f825-4ec1-4384-a8e8-9d4d7ddf8c5b.jpg?v=1681430682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/karate-do-mark-grigorian-9781933901688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
