The author Addy Melzer embarks on a search for traces of the past of the martial arts, on a journey through time, from the origins in Shaolin Monastery via Okinawa to karate, which is generally practiced today. Completely new and surprising conclusions emerge in an exciting way and supported by historically established facts. The book is a reinterpretation of the fundamentals that were believed to be lost and opens up highly interesting perspectives for both beginners and advanced learners. Secrets of the past are brought into connection with today's forms of exercise, building a bridge that helps the reader to close the gap between everyday training and the realistic application of the techniques learned. A standard work that redefines the practice of karate training!
