by Elmar T. Schmeisser, Ph.D.

"A true breakthrough in martial arts publishing!"
Karate-do Times

"Carefully organized, coherent, and firmly rooted in a
sense of reality. Dr. Schmeisser has done what many
instructors have not yet been able to demonstrate,
a cohesive and articulate interpretation of
the techniques of the Tekki kata."
Taniguchi Takao, 5th Dan, JKA
Terai-machi, Ishikawa-ken, Japan

"With no wasted space on preliminaries or filler,
Dr. Schmeisser dives into the subject offering unique,
imaginative but nonetheless applicable interpretations
of karate forms which most practitioners have heretofore
justified with fanciful and non-functional explanations."
Tony Annesi, Takeshin Sogo Budo
author of Cracking the Kata Code
