"Shotokan Karate – fra Hvidt bælte til Sort er skrevet af Bjarne Ibsen. Det er et gennemført værk på dansk om Shotokan Karate.Karate er et avanceret kampsystem, hvor stød, spark og parader indgår i et velafbalanceret bevægelsesmønster. Dette mønster gør det muligt at mobilisere hele kroppens styrke som drivkraft bag den enkelte karateteknik med blot en brøkdel af et sekunds varsel. Den karakteristiske eksplosive koncentration af kraft, der er så særegen for karate, opnås kun gennem vedholdende og systematisk træning, hvor samtlige teknikker konstant forbedres og rationaliseres. Enhver overflødig bevægelse elimineres for at fremme og forfine motorikken ned til den mindste detalje, så det ultimative mål for funktion og effektivitet realiseres.Den beskrevne karatestil i bogen er Shotokan. Den trænes inden for Denmark Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (D.S.K.F.). Shotokan er den mest udbredte stilart globalt. Den praktiseres og organiseres af et betydeligt antal internationale og nationale karateforbund.Uanset hvor mange af de andre forbund, der påstår at dyrke den mest sande eller autentiske stil, er det tekniske grundlag stort set identisk over hele verden. Små forskelle ses som regel i de forskellige stilarters tolkning af de 26 Katas, der betragtes som fundamentet for hele Shotokan-stilartens tekniske opbygning.Bogen er opsat med farvet baggrund i de tekniske billeder som en af de eneste på markedet. Det gør det meget lettere at se hvordan teknikkerne skal udføres."

This seminal work by historian Alexander Bennett presents a broad overview of the Japanese "Way of the Warrior" as it is expressed in scores of classical Japanese texts written by famous Samurai themselves. Bennett's analysis of these writings shows that the essential meaning of Bushido, the Samurai's code of conduct and ethics, evolved significantly over time--from the 12th century when the warrior class was elevated to become an elite group, to the 19th century when the Samurai class was suddenly disbanded. Bushido Explained takes a visual approach to presenting important concepts and terminology, helping readers easily navigate the complex world of the Samurai. The text is written in a highly accessible style, with sidebars presenting interesting concepts, facts and important Samurai figures who were central to Bushido's evolution. The different types of Bushido--which vary by region, time period and Samurai rank--are presented with over 300 informative diagrams and illustrations. No other book offers such a wide-ranging, yet clear analysis of Bushido--debunking myths and misconceptions about who the Samurai truly were. Bushido Explained presents a precise overview of Samurai ideals and culture in a logical, chronological order. Author Alexander Bennett--a professor of Japanese history, martial arts and Budo theory at Kansai university in Japan--uses this information and teaching methods in his Japanese Studies: Introduction to Bushido class. Now, readers all over the world can sit in on the unique lesson.
