5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterful Reference Work, 21 Jul 2003
By lensgrinder "wilki420" (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
I first bought a copy of this book 20 years ago and it still remains one of the most used books I own. Nakayama, the late Headmaster of the JKA demonstrates Shotokan karate-do with such skill and clarity. Kanazawa and Enoeda Sensei also feature in the photos. The book is very similar to Nishiyama & Brown's'Art of Empty Hand Fighting'an outstanding volume in its own right, but 'Dynamic Karate' is the one for me. Highly recommended for karateka of all styles.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best technical shotokan karate book available, 28 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I first brought this book over 10 years ago as a technical guide to get me through my brown belt training. All this time on and I have built a library of books on the same subject. None are as clear and concise as this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shotokan bible, 16 April 2006
By Mr. M. A. Bowles (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was one of the first karate books I bought when I started training. A lucky choice! I found it invaluable in studying the details of the basics and learning the japanese names. The pictures are clear and relevant to learning the techniques, and the occasional photos of the masters are inspiring to a student.

These days I hardly look at the book, because every page is now indelibly held in my memory; the book is as relevant to my training now as it was when I first read it - hard to believe it is almost thirty years ago. If you study Shotokan and you want to master the basics, this is the best single work to use. The pedigree of the author is unquestioned amongst the masters and his students have become great masters themselves.
