Karate Hour

Karate class begins, and the students come together to practise their blocks and stances. They wear coloured belts to show their ranks, and recite the training pact they have made with their master. They are reminded that karate is about self-esteem, respect for others and non-violent behaviour. The child-friendly rhyming text and dynamic, realistic illustrations have a dramatic impact as the techniques and philosophy of karate are celebrated in this powerful book.
