Customer Reviews:

dissapointed.......2006-01-28

I just wasted my money on this. The demo was so bad in this DVD.

Shotokan Techniques:
Looked staged, for example doing a forward punch in front stance(Heian Shodan), the timing was not synchronized. the demonstrator landed in the stance, first settled down then delivered the punch. (I have never seen this in any shotokan school)

No rythim in kata, no clear techniques, just looked like dance to me.
If you want the real thing go for Kanazawa DVDs.

Get the whole series!!!!.......2004-01-09

As I said in my other reviews, this is good for any martial artist, not just those doing Shotokan. Numbers 1, 2 and 4, 5 are equally as good.
