Secrets of Chinese Karate Book by Ed Parker

Have you ever wondered how a karate expert can smash ten clay roof tiles with his bare fist or break a heavy board with his bare feet? This book will not only show you how he does it, but also how you can perform the same amazing feats.

Karate is more than simply a method of unarmed combat. Practiced as an exercise system, it works wonders for physical and mental well-being. Coordination sharpens, reflexes become lightning fast, breath control, muscle tone, and strength can be marvelously improved.

Ed Parker gives you all the essentials of this great Chinese martial art. Proper breathing, foot move-ments, natural weapons and how to use them, the various punches and kicks and how to deliver them with full effect are all discussed in detail.
ED PARKER has been called by Time magazine

"the high priest of Hollywood's fast-growing Karate sect." Since 1957 he has operated his own karate studio, where he has taught more than fifteen hundred students, including many top motion picture and television stars.

"Ed Parker's book on karate is a good one, and for a serious reader who would like to know some. thing about the system very much worthwhile."
