Isshinryu Textbook

Isshinryu Karate tailors Okinawan Karate techniques to the way the body actually works and people fight under pressure. It rapidly builds self-defense capability and confidence. Isshinryu is a complete system that uses hand and foot techniques equally and a powerful vertical fist snap punch. This manuscript is a textbook containing precise information about the art, including critical theory and in-depth analysis. The book also offers a collection of questions and answers condensed from over a decade of Black Belt examinations. It is an outstanding resource by itself, and excellent supplement to class instruction. Whether you are a future Black Belt or long-time instructor seeking greater depth or additional proven teaching methods, this book has a lot for you. Isshinryu Textbook was written by Master Jeffrey D. Modell, Esq., Sensei, 5th Dan Isshinryu Karate, Gung Fu practitioner, a 30-year plus martial artist, cadre instructor and member of the Black Belt Promotions Board at the Southfield Martial Arts Institute, in Michigan, USA. It was compiled with the assistance of his mentor, Master Mark Lahti, and authorization from Hanshi Adams to publicly reveal many closed-door secrets. "This is a must read book for anyone who wishes to further their knowledge in the martial arts, regardless of style or system. I highly recommend this book for the serious martial artist. It will be most beneficial to you." Grandmaster "Willie" Adams, Hanshi, 10th Dan Isshinryu Karate.
