5.0 out of 5 stars
A Must-Have For Isshin Ryu Students, December 20, 2005
This review is from: Training Manual for Isshin Ryu Karate (Paperback)
Practicing your karate at home is very important...but what happens when you forget a move or a technique that you learned in class? Give up practicing til next week's class? Practice that you THINK it MIGHT be? Phone the dojo? That's where this book comes in. Bryan Winkelman's training manual is clear, concise, easy to understand, and has plenty of photos to show positions and techniques. The step-by-step kata outlines are a must-have...we tried to find something similar on the web, and came up with nothing but low-resolution video clips. This is also a valuable resource for parents who have young children in isshin ryu karate. If your kids are too young to read the manual, you'll be able to read it and help them practice.

This review is from: Training Manual for Isshin Ryu Karate (Paperback)
No pictures of the kata and the written descriptions are hard to follow. The history is meagre and inaccurate and overall the book is not worth 5 dollars.
