“These books should appeal to young participants and newcomers captivated by these intriguing sports.” —School Library Journal “Karate introduces this unarmed fighting style as a point-based competitive sport (a consistent detail across other competitive forms of martial arts) and recognizes the modern belt-scaling for skill in contrast to practices from its ancient roots in Okinawa. . . . An engaging introduction to the robust history and use of martial arts.” —Booklist
