About The Essential Shotokan Workbook/DVD Combination. . .

Edmond Otis, 7th Dan, demonstrates and narrates this instructive and dynamic DVD-video "how-to" series, clearly illustrating the relationship between karate's techniques, principles, and applications in a fresh and eye-opening way. Not theory, for theory's sake, but what every karateka needs to make their kata, bunkai, kumite, and sel-defense more natural and effective!

The companion workbook is designed to emphasize all the key aspects, concepts, and principles demonstreated in the Essential Shotokan DVD-video using a read-alone, question and answer format, ideal for all levels of ability–beginner, intermediate, and advanced karateka!

By packaging this workbook with the enclosed DVD-video, the cutting edge, crystal-clear, multi-camera, digitally mastered footage of this "how-to" series is surprising in its depth, clarity, and detail–it is unlike anything on the market today. No karate library is complete without the Essential Shotokan Series DVD-video Companion Workbook!
