The 100 Deadliest Karate Moves by Dr. Ted Gambordella, 5th Dan

Introduction by Dr. Ted Gambordella, 5th DanI wrote The 100 Deadliest Karate Moves as a practical text for the serious martialarts student or teacher. It is soley meant to be used as a reference in practice, and I do notcondone or suggest that any of the techniques found in this book be used in the streetagainst another man, unless, of course, the defender's life is in immediate danger. Thetechniques found in this book were not devised by me, and most are common knowledgeto the average student.What I have attempted to do is to compile moves in such a manner that one canstudy the kicks and blows and then can see the exact technique and target area, with theresulting damage to the attacker. I am assuming that the reader will have an adequatemartial arts background so that he knows the basic stances and strikes. Therefore, I amshowing only the strike or kick to the target area, without reference to body stances orother basics. All blows and kicks must be delivered with the utmost speed and power inorder to be effective.In a final chapter I show examples of street applications of some of the techniques.This is meant as a training section in order to get the student or teacher to beginto think of how the strikes and blows might be applied in a life-or-death situation link
