bruce tegner karate for sport and self defense

This book is very special to me. i picked it up at a magazine store when I was 8 years old, and it's continued to inspire me since then.
bruce tegner was the first mixed martial artist, having trained in several disciplines. in this book he shows the techniques of karate in two sections: section one for selfdefense, and section two for sport. but it is in the sport section that tegner's love for the art and people in general really shines; he promotes ways to make karate a fun, safe sport, suitable for any one, including alternate ways of scoring points that are really quite fun. a wonderful book for your collection and a great resource for teaching.
