More about the book

Kyokushin Encyclopaedia Syllabus Vol.1 - 10th Kyu presents a comprehensive guide to Kyokushin karate, crafted by Bertrand Kron, a distinguished Shihan with 45 years of experience. Having achieved his 4th Dan at the prestigious Mitsumine camp in Japan and his 6th Dan in 2008, Kron combines his extensive practice with insights from biomechanics, informed by his medical studies and teaching credentials. The book features detailed photographs of techniques, including intermediate movements such as preparation and weight transfer, enhancing the reader's understanding. When visual representation falls short, the author provides thorough textual explanations on critical aspects like weight balance and technical specifics. The techniques are meticulously outlined according to the ranking system established by Master Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin. An extensive index allows readers of all grades to easily locate techniques. Additionally, the author includes exercises taught by Master Oyama, despite their absence from the ranking program, and incorporates recent techniques to align with contemporary practices. This volume serves as a vital resource within a broader technical encyclopedia, supporting progression from beginner to advanced levels in the art of Kyokushin. 96 Pages, Full Colour!
