Описание: THE definitive fighting karate book. One of the top students of Mas Oyama, Ashihara changed many aspects of traditional karate training to make it more realistic and rational. Even the kata in Ashihara karate are done standing up like a boxer. It's too bad that Ashihara died in 1995 which resulted in most of his schools transitioning to Enshin because Ninomiya was Ashihara's top student in the US. It's understandable because there was no head figure in Ashihara Karate until his son got older. People will gravitate to someone who is actually there as a resource as Joko Ninomiya is. Enshin karate is an excellent 'hard' karate system, it's just unfortunate Ashihara never got it's fair shake in the US.
Having traveled to Denmark and received training at the European headquarters in Viborg, Denmark, I have continued Ashihara training since 1997 here at a small club in Michigan. While karate has dimmed in the light of MMA, simply applying the principal of MMA to Ashihara karate and pairing it with a grappling system results in a hard striking, 'complete' karate system. Much like Jon Bluming in Holland who's system of Kyokushin karate is paired with Judo. Ashihara also produced the monstrous striker Semmy Schilt in K-1, Pancrase and Pride.
I use the system as a police officer and have for 15 years. Ashihara was a superlative karate instructor and his system is still exceptionally rational for real fights.
