Originally, karate, the way of the empty hand, was designed to turn the human body into a defensive weapon. But alas, in the last century, with all of the rhetoric, diluted teaching, politics and misconceptions, the focus on what karate is all about has been distorted. Now, Ben Otake, with over 30 years of experience in the combative and defensive aspects of karate, distilled to its purest form, brings to the public the pure, devastating power of traditional karate.
