Title: Not Okinwan Karate!
Review: Hello for the most part this book depicts Arakaki's personal techniques as he uses them for his K-1 type of fighting. He gives a decent explantion of Shuri-te's whiplike action, but adds alot of hogwash to fill the rest of the pages. I have trained directly with several very senior Okinawan teachers and still do. I still travel there several times a year and after 30years of doing this im by far no expert in anything. But I think the information should be in a Sabaki or K-1 manual instead of an Okinawa Karate book. Also he severly hyperextends his elbows in MANY of his techniques which is a NO NO whatever someone studies.
Is the review positive or negative?
