| At
last here is a professionally made Shotokan Karate
DVD that is designed for the student. Clearly photographed
and demonstrated by technically correct, professional Sensei.
Champions both, Sensei Craig Raye (5th Dan), the late
Sensei Enoeda`s club Dojo captain for 10 years, teams up with
his sparring partner Robert Richards (4th Dan), who
trained under Enoeda, Kawasoe and Ohta,
to demostrate `best practice` Kata Kihon through
to Bassai Dai. Eight Katas in total. The DVD shows
all Kyu grades. In fact everything that the student will need
to demostrate that he or she has gained technical proficency
on grading night. It really is an essentail guide for every
student and invaluable assistance to every Sensei.

5 out of 5 - September 11, 2005
The DVD takes you through typical grading scenarios
from 9th to 1st Kyu. Most impressive of all is the section
on the Katas - each Kata can be viewed to count (i.e. one
count one move) or at normal speed, and for both speeds there
are multiple camera angles. For the Katas alone, this DVD
is worthwhile. The camerawork is clear and the navigation
system is very useable. This is the 4th DVD/video I've purchased
on Shotokan Karate, and it is by far the most useful. If you
are beginner to intermediate, this DVD is for you.
