Hanratty on Karate

Sensei John Hanratty, 8th Dan, has been teaching Shotokan karate at seminars around the world for more than 50 years. In this compelling book filled with practical advice, Hanratty shares how to develop the full potential of your mind and body. Part biographical, part philosophical, and part practical, this remarkable book is a must for martial arts practitioners and anyone wishing to build their strength and confidence. In addition to practical self-defence advice, Hanratty shares details of his against-the-odds early years as a foster child growing up amidst the post-war rubble of Liverpool, England. This inspiring and practical book also features a number of full-colour photographs and hand-drawn illustrations.
