Karate Made Easy: Self DefenseTips From Karate and Other Fighting Systems.body, td{ font:13px Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000; margin: 0px; }                      Welcome to Karate Made Easy!Karate Made Easy is an edited and updated online copy of Moja Rone's book Super Karate Made Easy, which was published back in 1960 in the United States of America.
In this book, Moja Rone tried to get the most basic and essential self defense techniques from the Okinawan martial art.
We must remember that, even in the 1960s, Oriental martial arts were still a bit of a novelty in America.

Boxing and other Western fighting styles were popular, but Karate was seen with an almost mystic aura back then, and Moja Rone - like many others - decided to introduce Karate in its simplest form to those searching for this kind of information.
The book originally touched upon the history of Karate very briefly and, as some experts have rightly pointed out, Moja Rone's account is - somehow - historically inaccurate. To address this problem I have added relevant information, and links to other more reliable sources dealing with that topic.
His book, however, focused more on attempting to show "Karate ways" (so to speak) of defending yourself from street attacks by thugs. He outlined ways of attacking your opponents with hands and kicks, and defenses against different forms of attacks (like attacks with knives, guns and baseball bats). He also included a chapter on Self Defense tips for women.
Moja Rone does not use Japanese terms to discribe punches, kicks and other Karate moves. Instead, he gives such moves plain English names. Many have criticized him for this deadly sin.
I reckon his aim in writing that book was to give people a taste of Karate, rather than teaching them to speak Japanese! ;-)
Moreover, many of his techniques are, in highsight, wrong and ineffective. As a matter of fact, I remember the disappointment and almost indignation I had the first time I read the book!
Having been exposed not only to Karate, but also to other martial arts like Tae Kwon Do, Ninjukai, Wing Chun, and Kick Boxing, I felt that the techniques Moja Rone included were very basic and plain wrong in some cases.
Why have I included them here, then?
Bruce Lee said "Absorb What Is Useful; Reject What is Useless."
Well, my goal is to make you curious. I want you to check out the techniques Moja Rone shows you, and draw your own conclusions.
But I won't leave it at that. I have started a newsletter from this site, in which I include self defense techniques, articles and discussions about self defense techniques from other martial arts, as well as reviews of self defense sites, books, DVDs and gear.
I hope you find this site useful and interesting. If you do, please spread the word... or even better: subscribe to the newsletter!
Sincerely Yours,
