Format:Paperback
Packed full of fantastic black and white pictures that show the main kata's still used today for progression through to shodan. A lot of techniques within the kata themselves have since evolved and differ slightly, certainly in the syllabus I now train under, but this acts as a wonderful marker to show some of the differences between the KUGB / JKA kata of the time and the kata taught now.

As with all karate books this is no substitutes for training with a good karate club (or probably even a bad one) but as a learning tool it is well recommended. However, the main reason to buy this book is to see some of the legendry karateka of the day (including Andy Sherry, Bob Poynton, Bob Rhodes, Terry O'Neill, and Frank Brennan). Fearsome competitors at national level and recorded here during the prime years of representing the KUGB at national and international level.

Just Fantastic!! 13 Nov 2008
By Terry Tozer TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Why has it taken me so long to learn about this books existence! It really is quite brilliant compared to most new versions of this type of book available today.

Jam packed with very clear black & white pictures covering the history of karate, fundamentals, Kata & kumite. Also included are grading information & fitness & medical advice too.

The kata that are covered are: Kihon Kata, Heian's 1 to 5, Tekki Shodan & Bassai Dai. More than enough to enhance your chance at Shodan.

If you're familiar with the recommended KUGB Video "Shotokan Karate Kata & Kumite" then you'll know how well this book has been put together.

Dedicated to Enoeda Sensei, it features the British Legendary greats: Andy Sherry, Bob Poynton, Bob Rhodes, Terry O'Neill, Bill Higgins, Frank Brennan & Karen Findley.
