Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A Kata is fighting, self-defence, precision and dynamic force all in one. It represents a fascinating multitude of logical, sequential techniques, with which the Karateka can demonstrate what he can do regarding his body control, powers of persuasion, perfection and fighting spirit. The repertoire of Shotokan Karate contains 26 Kata in all. The Master Kata described in this work belong to the advanced part of the repertoire and carry on from the 17 basic and advanced Kata introduced in Volume 1. This then completes the list of all the Shotokan Karate Kata. There are 9 Kata with Bunkai in this book: Sochin, Meikyo, Chinte, KankuSho, Wankan, Ji'in, Jitte, Gankaku, Unsu. There are approximately 600 photographs and detailed descriptions, which allow a deeper understanding of the Kata and their application. Armed with this information, it should be easy now for the Karateka to be able to improve himself in his routine training, grading tests and competition.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Shotokan Kata Vol 2, May 29, 2003
By A Customer
This book is useful for advanced Shotokan Karateka. Plenty of step by step and application pictures cover 9 Katas. Jitte, Meikyo, Unsu, Wankan, Sochin, Chinte, Kanku-sho, Ji'in and Gankaku. Shotokan Karate Kata Vol.2 gives good basis to learning new Katas but doesn't replace work done in the dojo.
