1.0 out of 5 stars Really overpriced, difficult to follow dvds, August 2, 2007
By 
This review is from: Complete Okinawa Isshin Ryu Karate System, Starring Shihan Kim Murray 8th Degree Black Belt! Self-Defense, Katas, Weapons! Achieve Your Black Belt...Home Study! (DVD)
This product is really overpriced. I bought the whole 4 dvd of the isshin ryu karate system and I was totally deceived. All in all, a very superficial work: basic stances are taught in 10 minutes, work on legs in non-existent. The entire dvd on kata, does not give step by step directions, but just starts with the master moving around, and giving blows to the air....how can a junior karate starter follow thorugh ???
The only section which is acceptable is the dvd on self defense (note: the 4th dvd is just a repetition of the dvd number 1, with a 15 minute addition on self defense): basic self defenses tecniques. All of them you can find in Fairbarns or Appleton classics on hand to hand combat books).
Don't buy this package, there is a lot better out there.

This review is from: Complete Okinawa Isshin Ryu Karate System, Starring Shihan Kim Murray 8th Degree Black Belt! Self-Defense, Katas, Weapons! Achieve Your Black Belt...Home Study! (DVD)
Shihan Kim Murray is a very well respected and respectable Martial Artist. He is in touch with traditional values and yet has a modern approach that is very effective. I studied with him for 3 years during School and his classes are some of the most memorable and uplifting moments I have from my college days.
