1.0 out of 5 stars dissapointed, January 28, 2006

By 

Karate Student/RoboMan "*** I Will be BAK ***" (Andromeda Galaxy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Three - d (DVD)

I just wasted my money on this. The demo was so bad in this DVD.

Shotokan Techniques:
Looked staged, for example doing a forward punch in front stance(Heian Shodan), the timing was not synchronized. the demonstrator landed in the stance, first settled down then delivered the punch. (I have never seen this in any shotokan school)

No rythim in kata, no clear techniques, just looked like dance to me.
If you want the real thing go for Kanazawa DVDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the whole series!!!!, January 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Three - d (DVD)

As I said in my other reviews, this is good for any martial artist, not just those doing Shotokan. Numbers 1, 2 and 4, 5 are equally as good.
