The Basic Karate Handbook by Fred Neff is a concise, coherent and well composed work. It is organized in a way that is user friendly. The author Fred Neff teaches the essential fighting moves from Karate in the book by breaking them down into learning steps. This not only makes them easier to understand while reading the book, but aids in practicing them. Each fighting technique has excellant pictures that match up with the text that explains how to do it that make learning easier. It is a book that adults and young people alike can share and enjoy using in learning karate, so it earns my strong recommendation.
Basic Karate is Relevant for Everyone

When I was in grade school, our teacher had us choose our favorite author. I picked Fred Neff, because of enjoying reading his books including one on Basic Karate. A few weeks ago I ran into a copy of his Basic Karate book again. I purchased it and was pleased to see the book was every bit as enjoyable and relevant for me as an adult as when I was a child. The teachings of the book are direct, practical and easy to understand. I especially like the way the book breaks down each fighting technique into steps for learning. This teaching approach makes it very easy to visualize and later practice. The original books I read by Fred Neff whetted my appetite for learning karate. When I got into college, I finally got to realize my dream and take karate lessons from a teacher in a class. Since college, I have continued my study of karate with several different teachers. From my experience, it is clear that the very best way to learn karate is the way taught in the Basic Karate book by Fred Neff. This book is terrific and highly recommended for anyone who is at all interested in karate.
