Part of a fascinating series about the sport, this book details the history of karate, from its secret beginnings in the kingdom of Ryukyu, to its early-twentieth-century spread throughout Japan, to its current worldwide popularity. There is plenty of information for fans and newcomers to the martial art: listings of tournaments, explanations of competition regulations, and short biographies of the world’s karate superstars. Also included is a discussion of the effort to have karate certified as an Olympic sport. A chronology at the end is followed by an index, glossary, and suggested Web sites. Abundantly illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs.
