How will this eBook help you as a Coach or Athlete?
Inside this eBook you’ll learn the most practical Explosive Training method to use in your Dojo, even if you have any Strength equipment… A step-by-step system so you can know how apply in different Kumite or Kata drills.
If you’re a Kumite Coach or Athlete, it’s very important that you know what differentiates the Winners from Defeated in WKF Kumite (no personal opinions, but with research data from Top-Level WKF championships)…
… you’ll understand what you really need to Displace Faster, in reaction to your opponents’ actions and why Technical improvement is important, but shouldn’t be the first priority, if you want to be a Better Fighter!
What’s the influence of each Strength Training Method in Kumite and Kata development? If you don’t understand the foundational principles of this, you won’t be able to take the most out of your Speed, Power, and Strength training.
Besides that, you’ll learn the best strategies of Training Periodization for Karate athletes… If you’re already familiarized with Periodization, you’ll see the Myths & Facts about this essential concept to any Coach that wants to achieve the highest levels in WKF Kumite or Kata; if you’re not, you’ll start learning about Periodization from an evidence-based and modern perspective, so your athletes can reach all their potential!
And what about Core Training? Do you still make hundreds of planks and bridges? Learn why that’s a waste of time and won’t help you improve your Power in both Kumite and Kata… You’ll receive the Ultimate Core Training Guidelines for Karate…
Do you teach Kids?!? I bet you do, as 95% of Karate Coaches, like you and me… Studying the Youth Physical Development Model (an evidence-based structure that helps you prioritize what skills should focus the most, in each age) or the 7 Principles of Strength Training for Kids was truly a game-changer for me!! Read everything about it in “KARATE 360″…
Learn how to progress your “Balance” Training…
…how to create the most effective Warm-up, both in training and competition…
…and more. Much More!!

About the Author, Pedro Candeias
Pedro Candeias is the Founder of Karate Science Academy.
By creating Karate Science Academy, he have a dream/mission: to study, curate, and organize evidence-based knowledge related to Karate and make it Universal, Easy, and Useful for every single Karate coach or athlete!
Fortunately to all of us, there will always be more information to organize and new ways of turning it useful… and Karate Science Academy will always be here to accomplish this goal.
As a Sports Trainer (and Karate Instructor), Pedro Candeias always felt the need of looking for answers to the thousands of doubts he had in his mind. Doubts about the best and safest ways of training all kinds of people.
Training Karate for 25 years and teaching for more than 15 years, he became an Education Courses “addict”… and, after starting his Master of Science in Sports Training, he became a Scientific Articles/Papers “addict” too.
Since then, Pedro Candeias’ bedside table readings before sleeping are scientific publications (systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and original research)… all about Human Movement, Sports, and Health (and, of course, Karate).
Karate Science Academy has a huge database with thousands of scientific publications, from where Pedro Candeias takes useful and practical knowledge. This way, he can help all Karate coaches and athletes train in a more effective, safe, and motivated way.
PEDRO CANDEIAS PROMISES YOU ONE THING: HE WON’T GIVE YOU HIS PERSONAL OPINIONS OR EXPERIENCES… HE’S GOING TO GIVE YOU ONLY EVIDENCE-BASED KNOWLEDGE!
