ADVANCED
SHOTOKAN KARATE
Dave Wilkins

This Advanced Shotokan DVD is a follow up to the successful Beginning Shotokan Karate DVD and goes much further. This production takes you from the level of 4th kyu (purple and white belt) right the way through to shodan (black belt) level.

All aspects are covered in detail including all the basics required for these levels from punching, open hand striking, kick and blocking techniques as well as the combinations required for each grade.

All the kata requirements for each level are clearly shown and demonstrated at slow and normal speeds. Kata included on this DVD are: Tekki Shodan, Bassai Dai, Jion, Kanku Dai, Ten No Kata as well as Heian Sandan, Yodan and Godan in ura form.

Kihon Ippon Kumite (one step sparring) for 4th kyu level is demonstrated with the introduction of hanme dachi. Preparatory positions in anticipation of the attack are clearly demonstrated as well as Ju Ippon Kumite (semi-free sparring) for all levels of brown belt grade. Various blocks and counters are shown.

Also included throughout the DVD are Juute Kumite (free-fighting) techniques and combinations in attack and defence to assist all levels of brown belts and advanced grades.

This DVD is ideal for all levels and especially senior grades and instructors as a reference guide to enhance their training or teaching levels.
