Many prominent historic karate contemplations are published, but a sound socio-cultural breakdown of Okinawan karate and its evolution is not to be found in the karate Western world. Substantiates further how the art was used to prepare Japan for total war (WWII), how it was deliberately industrialized into a worldwide Japanized Karate-Do inflation, and how its following transformation into athletic showmanship destroyed the art's unity and distinctiveness. Offers an easily understandable basis for karate laymen who are more interested in the socio-cultural aspects of the publication than in karate-specific philosophy or considerations. Numerous practical examples illustrate the core arguments of this publication (including documenting photographs). This will not only convince sceptical 'karate insiders' who can cross-check the author's argumentation. Target Market: Martial arts/karate officials, instructors, students, as well as those of other Martial Arts Forms (martial arts officials in organizations & dojo, as well as sensei, and deshi). The realistic potential audience consist of 750, 000-1, 000, 000 adult karateka enrolled in ca. 20, 000 dojo's.
