American Combat Goju Ryu Karate is a book designed to be a syllabus of history, protocol, and techniques and basic knowledge required from white belt to black belt. This is a book that was once only available to students and is now available to anyone interested knowing what techniques and ideas are needed for each belt rank in this eclectic karate system. This book is not a photo-primer showing techniques, but goes over basic requirements on history, customs, fitness, and techniques. Sensei Kenneth Herfurth is a 5th degree black belt and has studied many martial arts. While Ken learned to box and wrestle, his true fighting art of preference is karate.
