ABOUT THE BOOK
USER REVIEWS
"I have written several reviews, but this is the firt one where I have rated a book with 5 stars.
Joko Ninomiya (Kancho is a title, not a name) was a champion of kyokushinkai full contact karate before breaking away to found his own style -enshin karate (although he spent some time in ashihara karate inbetween). This book is of great use for any practicioner of a kyokushin derrived style (Kyokushin, enshin, ashihara, seidokaikan, seido juku, world oyama etc etc). Practicioners of other styles may find it of great interest awell.
This book is awesome! It is one of the few books to focus on the fighting aspect of full contact, knockdown style karate (where most only focus on formal technique and kata). While many of the techniques and combinations shown are not allowed in knockdown rules (even in Ninomiya's own organisation and their rule variation), what matters is the movement pattern and tactic that is taught.
This is a introduction to jissen kumite (full contact karate fighting) as it is supposed to be.
If I must find something to complain about, it is that some of the photos are to small. But that is the price to pay for cramming so much good stuff into the book."

"I really like this book. So much information is packed within its pages. Certain techniques look like techniques in Thai Boxing. It was interesting to compare. I can see there are plenty of practical applications within the pictures. All in all a fantastic book on this martial art."

"This is a great book that should have been made years ago. Kancho shows his style of true fighting Karate with a tremendous amount of high quality photos and some inspiring words. This book shows why Kancho Ninomiya won the All Japan Championship."
