Publisher's Synopsis
The Black Belt is an award bestowed for martial arts excellence. It takes many years of rigorous training to achieve even the first level. Very few ever reach the pinnacle, the 10th Degree Black Belt. The higher degrees actually require the practitioner to invent new moves never before applied! Acknowledged by all who knew him as the greatest martial arts writer and reporter of all time, John McGee was a gifted Hachidan (8th Degree Black Belt) Karate Master and much admired and sought out instructor. This, his only book, was refused for publication during his tragically shortened lifetime as being far too controversial. World-famous Great Grand Master Aaron Banks calls him "1000% the real deal!" In this unique book John McGee explains in clear detail the specific exercises (katas) anyone who hopes to achieve a karate black belt or a taekwondo black belt must repeat over and over until they become pure reflex. Anyone who hopes to pass any level of black belt test must master these basic skills. While it might be possible to study and achieve a black belt online, reading McGee's clear instructions alone will give the aspiring master black belt practitioner a sound basis for future learning. Written for the general public as well as the experienced practitioner, The Black Belt - How To Do Karate, The Art of Personal Self-Defense is an easy to understand step-by-step karate instruction book. Trained by two of the world's all-time greatest black belt martial arts Masters, Numano and Otani, and mentored by the legendary Great Grand Master Aaron Banks, John McGee had the extensive knowledge of karate skills and fine literary background to write this unique book. Any person, man, woman, youth, elderly or handicapped will find within its pages a wealth of easily applied how-to knowledge of life-saving personal self- defense techniques. Even experienced martial arts practitioners of any black belt degree will learn wisdom and techniques that are seldom taught in America today from this remarkable book.
