Karate developed in the islands of Okinawa as a weaponless method of self-defense. In traditional Okinawan karate, kata (form) and kumite (fighting) were not divided, they were taught together as one art. Today, however, as a result of Western influences which treat it mainly as a sport, karate is taught quite differently. The author learned the secrets of karate from masters in Okinawa, fighting in full-contact karate matches, while also competing in Muay-Thai kickboxing in Thailand, and teaching hundreds of students at his dojo in the United States. Readers will find in this book the key to the fundamentals of an ancient martial art, before it was diluted by later interpretations, and will also discover a completely different perspective on karate than any they have ever seen or practiced before.

Named one of the "40 Best Books of 2016" by The New York Post Inoki can use his bare fists. He can use karate. This is serious. There’s $10 million involved. I wouldn’t pull a fraud on the public. This is real. There’s no plan. The blood. The holds. The pain. Everything is going to be real. I’m not here in this time of my life to come out with some phony action. I want you to know this is real." Muhammad Ali, June 14, 1976, The Tonight Show On June 26, 1976, Muhammad Ali fought in a mixed-rules contest against iconic pro wrestling champion Antonio Inoki for the so-called martial arts championship of the world.” Broadcast from Tokyo to a potential audience of 1.4 billion in 34 countries, the spectacle foreshadowed and, in many ways, led to the rise of mixed martial arts as a major sport. The unique contest was controversial and panned by wrestling and boxing supporters alike, but the real action was behind the scenes. Egos, competing interests, and a general sense of apprehension over what would happen in the ring led to hodgepodge rules thrown together at the last minute. Bizarre plans to save” Ali if the fight got out of hand were even concocted. In Ali vs. Inoki, author Josh Gross gets inside Ali’s head leading up to the match by resurrecting pre-fight interviews. Gross also introduces us to Inoki, the most famous face in Japan who was instrumental in shaping modern mixed martial arts.

What is Shootfighting? It's a brutal hybrid sport that combines real wrestling moves with Eastern martial arts such as judo, karate and Muay Thai kickboxing. Among old-time wrestlers, the word "shoot" referred to the real thing - no scripts, no fake holds, no mercy. So Bart Vale coined the name Shootfighting to describe the new fighting system he learned from Japanese martial artists Masami Soranaka and Yoshiaki Fujiwara. The International Shootfighting Association (ISFA) created by Vale, Soranaka and Fujiwara has affiliated gyms and martial arts schools around the world. In this book, Shootfighting champion Vale takes you through the history of the sport, the training methods that will get you in peak shape, and the kicking, punching, takedown and submission-hold techniques that will give you the winning edge in all aspects of unarmed combat.
