Discover Bunkai, Applications and the Mind-Body Connection  How many hours do you spend working on trying to master your techniques? Are you fed up with performing abstract movements that appear to have no meaning in a fight or on the mats? Does Kata really hold the key to you becoming a more effective martial artist? Inside Karate Kata is your complete introduction to learning, understanding and using kata to enhance your skills. Find out how to apply basic movements, techniques & postures. Use powerful mental imagery to give your training a serious boost. The book is packed with hints and tips to help you get the most out of your studies. Discover how your thinking mind is interfering with your ability to move naturally and powerfully. The wrong type of self talk and imagery will cause excessive tension, fatigue and mental overload - exactly the things you don't need in a live situation! Kata training with good basics and correct mental focus shows you how to regain natural, powerful movement. You no longer have to try hard to make it work. "Always Imagine Opponents When Performing Kata"I'm sure you've heard that one before. Mental imagery is a vital component in kata practice. You have to bring the kata to life by using creative imagination. Whenever you train you must use correct visualization to program your subconscious mind. The problem is - how can you visualize opponents during kata when you don't even know what the movement is for? And how do you stop your mind wandering off and worrying if you're doing the stance correctly? This is where bunkai (analysis of movement) comes into play. The "usual" explanations for karate techniques tell you about kicks, blocks, strikes and punches. Try applying them against a strong close-range attack next time you're in the dojo. Could you really make them work in a high pressure, high risk confrontation? Bunkai reveals a whole new world of options - grip releases, leg trips, strikes, locks, throws, reversals and more. You might think that more technique means more mental log jam, but this is where your creative imagination and understanding of the basics comes into play.
Here's what's covered in the book:
There's more to it than bunkai of course. The book demonstrates how to integrate physical practice with an understanding of mental focus, visualization and application to create a complete training method for traditional martial arts. No more struggle, frustration and trying too hard. Trying hard is the product of mental resistance and the fear of allowing your body to move under its own command. When you clear out that internal resistance you are free to move with relaxation, grace and power. Inside Karate Kata takes you through the first steps towards self-improvement no matter what style or system you study.

Rediscover The Essence of Karate
" Karate-do strives internally to train the mind to develop a clear conscience, enabling one to face the world honestly, while externally developing strength to the point where one may overcome even ferocious wild animals. Mind and technique become one in true karate."
Gichin Funakoshi, Karatedo Kyohan
