Â Â Â â€¢Â Detailed descriptions of kicks, punches, evasions, and techniques and the philosophical concepts that they manifest
Â Â Â â€¢Â What practice means and looks like as one ages
Â Â Â â€¢Â How the practice of karate aims toward cultivating character and spiritual development

After forty years studying karate and the budo arts, Lowry is an informative and reliable guide, highlighting aspects of the karate path that will surprise, entertain, and enlighten.
