When self-defence becomes a matter of survival, Practical Karate: Against the Unarmed Assailant delivers the knowledge and techniques needed to neutralise a threat with confidence and precision. Book II in the acclaimed Practical Karate series by master karateka M. Nakayama and martial arts scholar Donn F. Draeger, this volume focuses specifically on real-world defensive scenarios involving unarmed attackers, presenting a systematic breakdown of blocks, strikes, and counter-techniques drawn directly from traditional Japanese karate. Nakayama and Draeger write with the clarity and authority of seasoned practitioners, combining rigorous technical instruction with step-by-step photographic sequences that make each technique accessible to practitioners at every level. The book argues that effective self-defence is not rooted in brute strength but in discipline, timing, and precise body mechanics — principles that remain as relevant today as when first published. A cornerstone of martial arts literature, this volume leaves the reader asking one compelling question: in a genuine confrontation, would you be ready?
