This DVD is an excellent introduction to Wado Ryu and worth every penny! Doug James has been teaching karate for many years and has produced an excellent introduction to Wado Ryu suitable for anyone studying this style of karate. Students studying other styles and wanting tips on competion techniques may also want to view it too!
The DVD starts with some motivating shots of karate students going through some basics and some then practicing some sparring moves. The curriculum for each belt is then introduced in turn along with training tips ( eg safe warm-up routines ) and clear explanations of the techniques being taught. This is useful as it is important to get the basis right early on rather than have to unlearn them later on. The presentation is very professional and Doug has a positive and direct approach to his presentation.
The only slight drawback is that there is a lot of infomation to fit in and the pace is sometimes a bit quick, so a quick re-wind may be necessary. Other than that , an excellent DVD well worth the money but only to be followed in parallel with instruction from an experienced teacher of course.

Bought this dvd to help me understand some of the finer points, and to help motivate me when I was going through a sticky patch.
Pleased to say that Doug James achieves both of these with his excellent teaching technique.
I am heading towards blue belt now, so I had better think about buying his next dvd in the series.
Thoroughly recommended.

I have recently taken up karate and this DVD was excellent up to the point of sticking!. Although Amazon were excellent at organising a replacement, when it came the new dvd had the same problem. I am rather dissapointed by this as an earlier review did highlight this problem. As stated earlier the actual content of the dvd was brill and I am just hoping now I can find a copy without a fault!
