Sensei Alex Sternberg believes that karate is a craft - a skill that almost any man or woman can master and utilize, not an exotic art that only the privileged few can learn. From kata to competition strips away the mystery of karate as Sternberg offers you the benefit of his years of experience as a teacher, coach, competitor and national champion.

It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or black belt; from kata to competition is and an essential addition to your martial arts library. The authors cover everything you need to know, from limbering up techniques through Conta and sparring tactics to the full range of Shotokan secrets.

Here, you'll find kicks, blocks and hand techniques explained in simple, understandable fashion-complete with over 400 step-by-step photographs. And everything, from exercises to the most complex kata is organized so that novices and even the most knowledgeable can find a program that will build an answer skills.
