Welcome to Karate makes the thought of practicing martial arts less intimidating
This book provides mindful, culturally-appropriate encouragement through the beginning of your journey. You may have good reason to feel unsure if karate is for you. You’ve no doubt seen Black Belts perform miracles with seeming ease.

Your fellow karate practitioners received their training in a dojo, an institution of learning unlike any other you may have attended in Western society. Consequently, your path as a beginning karate student, or karate-ka, may feel occluded. In truth, it is well-tread. When you return home, Welcome to Karate can provide you with the comfort of a few additional insights. It will reinforce your experiences in the dojo, enabling you to return there more enthusiastically.
It prepares you before you even visit a local dojo, and assists in the first months of real practice. With anecdotes, history, and humor as well as drills, requirements, and encouragement, Welcome to Karate enhances your personal martial arts experience.
Welcome to Karate is also a curricular guide and sourcebook. It provides an introduction to the entirety of dojo involvement, emphasizing traditions and etiquette, and offers technical support for all elements required to advance from white to yellow belt. Running throughout the book are stories, humorous anecdotes, technical descriptions, and drills for self-training. Appendices include requirements for advancement, a fundamental glossary, a pronunciation guide. As a good instructor should, Welcome to Karate seeks to be placed where the student arrives, offering information and encouragement relevant to the next step along the path.
