Applied Methods is an independent collection of articles and training notes exploring practical karate, its principles, and their application to civilian self-protection.

Written by Adam Carter, drawing on over 50 years of martial arts experience, the work is freely available to anyone interested in looking beyond the surface of traditional karate.

If you've found something useful in my writing, you're welcome to help keep Applied Methods free and independent. Contributions help support the continued writing, publication, and maintenance of the website.

Your support is always appreciated, but never expected.
