Now Available, the first book by Soke Dave Nielsen, Creating Kata.

A work years in the making, Creating Kata is a work designed for those looking for more understanding in the Traditional Martial Arts, and their Kata.  This is a concise, detailed text dealing with the rules of deciphering, and thus creating, the kata used in traditional martial arts.

This is a text that is the distilled essence of all the knowledge of the martial arts masters of the past.  The secrets of Creating Kata are secrets no longer!  Dave Nielsen Soke, founder of Nahashu Ryu Karate-do, and Head Instructor of the USA-TKA / IKBA, lays down the method in a step-by-step manner that shows a valid equation for the creations of the kata of the Okinawan and Japanese Budo.

This book is a fast read, but a slow process.  Do not let the page count fool you.  This small book is a treasure trove of information useful to all traditional martial artists around the world!

"This is the first in a series of 5 books that will teach individual karate-ka the way in which the past masters of martial arts created their fighting systems."  -  Dave Nielsen, Soke

 

See what people are saying about "Creating Kata":

"Using this book as a guide, I have started seriously exploring the possibilities of creating kata - something I never would have considered before as a traditionalist.  This is a recommended addition to any martial arts library."
                                         - Dr. Ward D. Albin, Kamishin Ryu
