**eLit Gold Medalist****2021 Independent Press Award Winner****2021 NYC Big Book Award Winner****15th Annual National Indie Excellence Award Finalist**>From the bestselling authors of The Way of Kata, The Little Black Book of Violence, and Musashi's Dokkodo... Your immutable path to victory! All ten precepts in this concise book cut to the heart of ending physical confrontations as quickly as possible with empty-hand techniques. Our definition of "ending" is to make the attack stop. There is no running after the now fleeing assailant to catch and strike him down. There is no lesson, no teaching, no therapy, no epiphany. There is only making that bad guy stop what he is doing instantly so that you and those you care about will be safe. The strategy of karate is based on principle, what practitioners do to prepare for contact with an adversary, while tactics are what we do during the heat of battle. Practicing a martial art from tactics upward to principles creates a house of cards that will collapse from a gentle breeze, whereas working downward from principles into tactics builds a formidable foundation that can weather near any storm. These ten principles are style agnostic, all about ending fights immediately. They define how to best apply your skills and training in the real world. Those who work with these principles will find swiftness, clarity, and victory in so doing. Praise for 10 Rules of Karate: "Since losing isn't an option on or off the mat, this is an absolute must read for karateka." -- Christian Wedewardt, Founder & Head of Karatepraxis (Frechen, Germany) "In your hands is a book that cuts straight through the chatter and gets to the point of unarmed self-defense. No relying on luck, no need for hoping that strength alone will carry the day. This is advice which gets to the heart of what is important and despite the title is applicable regardless of martial arts style or system." -- Wallace Smedley, hung gar kung fu master instructor (Dallas/Fort Worth, United States) "Wilder and Kane, both prolific authors and active martial artists, have synthesized decades of their industry-proven experience to bring you 10 must-have principles to integrate into your martial arts and self-defence curriculum. Get the book. I did!" -- Chris Hanson, Founder of Karate Unity (Toronto, Canada) "The beauty of dojo training is also its biggest weakness outside the dojo. Wilder and Kane masterfully take the safe, structured lessons of karate and show how they must adapt to survive the chaos of real-world violence.
