ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lester Ingber, Ph.D., physics, and karate instructor, has over 28 years of
experience in each discipline. He is a seventh dan karate sensei, and
president of Physical Studies Institute (PSI), a California nonrofit
corporation whose studies span several activities, ranging from
biological and physical sciences to physical body disciplines. He has
founded and instructed karate classes at several universities where he
was a theoretical physicist, as a student, a National Science Foundation
Postdoctoral Fellow, and faculty member.
In 1968, Dr. Ingber accomplished the first scientific study of the
physical principles operative in karate. This thesis was accepted by the
Japan Karate Association and the All-American Karate Federation as
one of the requirements for their prestigious Instructor's degree, which
he became the first Westerner to receive. By 1970, he integrated these
studies with research into yin and yang attention processes, creating a
scientific and practical teaching methodology promoting efficient in-
depth learning of all aspects of this martial art. These concepts were
published in 1976, in The Karate Instructor's Handbook and in its 1981
revision, Karate: Kinematics and Dynamics. Dr. Ingber has also recently
published in scientific journals the first biophysics theory of brain
function that yields specific mechanisms to explain yin and yang
processes. In part for this work, in 1985 he was recommended for a
Senior Research Associateship by the National Research Council of the
National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering,
and the Institute of Medicine.
PREFACE
For a quarter of a century, I have striven to contribute scientific methodology to the
study of physical, attentional and philosophical aspects of karate. I believe that
students and teachers can best develop themselves only by attempting to contribute
to the general welfare of their common enviornment, by developing a superior
outlook for studying any discipline, and by developing better partners and
competitors. Together, martial arts practitioners can research and expose defects in
their art and improve previous methods and techniques. This has been the theme of
my previous two books: The Karate Instructor's Handbook and Karate: Kinematics
and Dynamics. This philosophy has also been the guiding principle in classes I
have founded and taught at California Institute of Technology, University of
California at San Diego, University of California at Berkeley, University of
California at Los Angeles, State University of New York at Stony Brook, and since
1970, at Physical Studies Institute (PSI) in Solana Beach.
Elements of Advanced Karate presents a logical teaching method that is used at the
Physical Studies Institute studio to give intermediate and advanced students a
training in physical, attentional, and attitudinal skills that will make them more
proficient in karate and, hopefully, in their other wordly pursuits.
