Ashihara has done a good job in marrying Japanese hard style karate with boxing. This sequel to Fighting Karate is a great reference book on the Ashihara style. Well laid out with great photographs and clean writing, it gives the reader a catalog of techniques, with a detailed explanation of each technique and its practical usage. It works well for those who want a thorough discussion of how to do a technique and why you'd want to. The volume comes with over 2,000 illustrations - in clear black and white strip/panel format. Contents include:
