Hey Guys,
I've got an old MA book, and i'm trying to find out if it is at all rare.
It's called "SECRETS OF KARATE" BY ED PARKER.
Says on front "The amazing techniques of the martial art of karate as developed and practiced by the Chinese".
It's got a picture of a hand chopping, and three butterfly knives on it.
Second edition printed in 1965 in the UK.
Hard back complete with dust cover.
I've had it years, and never seen or heard of another.
It's actually very good. With loads of line drawings and detailed training methods.
I didn't realise that Ed parker knew so much about traditional Kung Fu way back in 1964 (first edition)
Anyway.... I was just wondering if anyone in the states knows much about it.
cheers
