The DVD covers the basic punches found in the
heian katas - the jab, cross, hook and upper cut. There are
clear explanations of how to practically apply them and how
to use them in combination. This is not a boxing video; but
the results of the authors study of traditional karate and
how to make it an effective martial art.
Other sections in the DVD give an alternative
to punching using open hand strikes. Limb control and basic
escapes are covered. The DVD remains true to its routes with
explanation on the concepts of 'the one punch kill' and 'no
first attack in karate-do'.
