3 stars Karate Warriors
Karate Warriors

The title of the book I chosen to read is called Karate Warriors. What this book is all about is Karate. The author's name is Austin St. John. This book does not really have a conflict because it is mainly about is how the martial arts teacher teaches you steps of how to do karate. He teaches you a lot of steps but the ones I liked the most are the Flying Side Kick and Spinning Kick He teaches you all kinds of steps. The martial arts teacher wears a black belt. Only the greatest warriors are able to ware the black belt it is an honor to wear it. He has been wearing that belt for at least 2 years. He also teaches you about your attitude you, you have to have a positive attitude about yourself and you have to know when to defend yourself and when to attack. He also teaches you everything you need to do to be champion like him. Being a champion in karate includes 1 to 1 and a half hours of pure exercise. He also tells you that you should eat a lot for protein. You should also eat a lot so all that fat you get into your body and then you do exercise you'll burn it and it will turn in to muscle. At last it has a Quote it says, "The harder you work the harder it is to surrender. I recommend you to think about this quote and put it to work.


1 stars Red Danger....
This book was one of the most uninformative books i've ever read about martial arts. Nothing that special, a lot of what a person can learn from joining a badminton team. It didn't seem very organized at all, you could get more information on martial arts from just surfing the internet. I was very disappointed as i have seen every episode of the first and second season of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.... ughh Jason really let me down this time.


2 stars The Beginners Guide...
Karate Warrior is a beginners guide geared more towards a young audience, after all look who wrote it, Austin St. John the former "Red Ranger" on the kid TV series Power Rangers. It has sections that tell about the philosophies of martial arts, physical conditioning, mental outlook, etc. There are many color photos on each page that illustrate what is being talked about. It shows how to do a few martial arts moves in the back of the book, which is one of the few good points of the book. 12 year olds and younger might want to read this book, but I don't recommend it to anyone above that age. Like it suggests in the book, if you are really interested in martial arts, try to join one of the many martial arts training groups.
