The Shotokan Karate Kata DVD Video Series feature two complete Katas per Disc. Most katas are filmed from two angles at full speed and half speed. There is no voice-over or narration. The sounds you hear are the sounds of the kata. My instruction has been outside the JKA so there is likely to be some differences in kata performance. However, over the years, many Sensei have commented to me about the traditional look and sincerity of our katas. In this school we believe in teaching Karate-Do. These videos will be of most use to students who already have some basic knowledge of karate and specifically Shotokan. However, anyone should be able to learn these katas through careful observation and practice. It should be remembered that there is no substitute for a good instructor. It is not possible to truly learn an art by watching videos. Only a teacher can convey the heart and soul of an art.
