More Shades of Black by Gavin Mulholland


 

The Traditional Path from Black Belt

to Master

 

This book is not repeating the tropes of others, but comes from original experience and extensive research.
That’s what makes it a valuable read for any martial artist

THE WAY BEYOND BLACK BELT IS CONTAINED IN THE KATA

In his first book Four Shades of Black, Gavin Mulholland explored the first four kata of Goju Ryu showing how each represented a complete area of study. How, taken together, they create a logical and realistic training progression from stand-up fighting to no-holds-barred grappling, expertly designed to take the beginner to Black Belt and far beyond.

More Shades of Black picks up on the progression that Four Shades left at Goju’s fourth kata,  Seiunchin, and carry it all the way to the master’s level and the ultimate kata of Suparinpei

More Shades of Black how the higher kata guide the training program of the Black Belt student towards Master level, every bit as much as the lower kata guided the novice to Black Belt. And all encoded and mapped out for us by the founders themselves, all those years ago.
