You - yes YOU - can now learn KA-RA-TAY in the privacy of your own home "dojo" with this handy record album brought to you by Found Sound Records Inc. Your fists of fury will be like unto powerful weapons that must be registered with the local police department, depending on how much fury you get up to and with whom.



Look how peaceful Karate has made this poor soul. He's practically radiating oneness with the universe. It's enough to make you sick.

I'd never realized how much in common a How To KARATE album with instructional booklet might have with How to Bellydance/Seduce a Sultan albums of the same era.

That man looks one enlightenment session away from joining a drum circle and embracing the godess.

I see Jesus! In the Jpeg!

This LP is very much from the mid 1970s school of Oriental Enlightenment; karate being sold as yet another mystical Eastern philosophy designed to bring peace to your troubled Western mind. Because Asians are so peaceful and tranquil!

It really is part and parcel with the Western image of bellydance - and I'm sure that Eastern cultures all think Europeans have secret seduction techniques and have mastered some sort of exotic deadly arts. The people on the other side of the hill ALWAYS have some kind of mysterious power, usually involving killing or sex.
