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.

Have watched this DVD over and over since purchasing it. The camera angles are excellent with the full options of seeing the Katas performed at many different angles. Having trained for a while now this DVD has helped guide me in the right direction and help polish up my skills. My youn son also enjoys watching this which shows how well put together this is. The practitioners who star are very well skilled and it is also interesting to see the sparring action that takes place by ways of set pieces.

i often miss the moves we learn in the dojo and when i started karate (almost a yr ago) the katas were a mystery to me, i couldnt figure out where everyone was going! this dvd has many different views in the kata section including an invaluable and clarifying floorplan view, AHA! THATS where i am supposed to go!
on the downside i have to agree with a previous reviewer on the picture quality. i am now working towards higher grades whereby the katas are a collection of more complex moves and i find that even slowing the dvd down doesnt help too much as there is quite a lot of blur.
but, i am using this as a resource to supplement my dojo training, as it was probably intended and am finding it useful if not for learning some moves from scratch, then for reinforcing what i have been taught in the dojo.

Fantastic
Perfect for any beginner who struggles to remember everything they learn in class, or just wants to brush up on their technique before a grading at home. Highly recommended.
