This is a vintage 1974 copy (58th printing) of the classic martial arts manual Karate: The Art of "Empty Hand" Fighting by Hidetaka Nishiyama and Richard C. Brown, published by the Charles E. Tuttle Company. This specific copy is a fascinating, one-of-a-kind martial arts artifact. A previous practitioner has inserted sections of another classic textbook—Masatoshi Nakayama's Practical Karate—directly into this volume. Iconic vertical "film-strip" style photographic sequences have been carefully glued into the pages to create a comprehensive training guide. Features detailed breakdowns of stances, strikes, and traditional Katas (including Taikyoku Rokudan and Shihozuki Jodan) using historic high-contrast photography and floor grids. Good vintage condition - shows honest wear consistent with age and use by a dedicated martial artist. Includes the original protective cardboard slipcase wrapper. Great piece of martial arts history for an instructor, student of Shotokan, or collector of vintage training manuals.
