Shin Gi Tai: Karate Training For Body, Mind, And Spirit
Shin Gi Tai's core message is taking personal responsibility for your own karate progress and your life. Discover how to make real progess as a student of a karate dojo. Shin (Spirit) explains the 'self' in karate; Gi (Technique) examines fighting strategies, applications, and kata of karate; Tai (Body) teaches how to strenghten the body for the rigours of karate training. Learn why people spend a lifetime fighting themselves, so they don't have to fight anyone else.

In my view, Mike Clarke's Shin Gi Tai should be considered a text book not just for the serious Karate-ka, the serious Gojuryu Karate-ka, but for all martial artists. I said this after I only reading the content table, and I am convinced that it will prove to be not just an interesting read, but a text/note book for the reader who is concerned with the learning and the doing part as opposed to the theorising part of martial arts.
A good friend of mine, a Shaolin Kung-Fu practitioner, said this to me: 'You can bring the oyster to the water, but you can't make it drink!'. This book, to me, has a gem-quality-like oyster, not the kind praised for food but the one sought for its pearls. So, the pearl oyster will be out there soon and it's up to you if your pearl oyster will shine by you making the most of its contents. I can't wait till October the 16th to make my martial arts oyster shine!
Judge for yourself!
