This introduction to karate is accessible, agreeably colloquial, well organized, unusually detailed (""arrive...about ten to fifteen minutes before the class is supposed to start""), and thorough, covering everything from the history of karate to the uniform to the various kicks and blocks to what to expect in class. The color diagrams (which feature both girls and boys) are clear and helpful. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
