Okinawan Te: Self-Defence Applications Decoded

By Mark D Bishop and Mark D. Bishop

Okinawan te is an ancient martial art that has empty-hand applications & a bladed-weaponry system. Frequently referred to simply as te, it became the underlying attribute of karate & gave this newer, popular martial art its effectiveness as a flexible & healthful method of self-defence against attackers. Modern-day karate in general has lost much of the original te on which it was founded. Yet, whenever the topic of self-defence is discussed, or when people feel a need to learn a martial art that will protect them if attacked in the street, they generally think of taking up karate, without being aware of its deeper origins. Within these pages then is the serious martial artists chance to study, learn, train in & put into practice the almost lost methods of Okinawan te, here decoded into effective self-defence methods that, while saving life & limb, will help to create all-round health.
