Deportes de combate: Karate (Hardcover)

Karate takes focus and stamina. Each move is done with strength and precision. Powerful strikes and kicks are a thrill to watch but sparring in this open-hand sport takes time and practice to learn. Both casual fans and aspiring athletes will read about the dedication and training it takes to compete in both kata and kumite competitions. Kids can be inspired by World Games champion Sandra Sanchez Jaime while learning about karate matches, gear, important skills, and the Dojo Kun said at the end of every class. Exciting infographics and accessible Spanish text make this hi-lo nonfiction chapter book a hit for reluctant readers. A table of contents, glossary with pronunciations, further resources, and an index all enhance comprehension. Translated into North American Spanish.
