Customer Reviews

Wrong information!
I liked Sensei Kanazawa Shotokan'series. This DVD series is rather good but there is no advance Kata. There is a huge misleading information about this DVD series, please be aware that Gojushiho sho/dai and Nijoshiho and Unsu/sochin/ etc is NOT included. It make this DVD series of less valuable.

Again, I am dissapointed because I was misled by the wrong info, if you hoping to see advance kata then look somewhere else. Otherwise the quality of bunkai/form/explaination is just as great!

Well up to the standard of all Rising Sun Productions. Terrible!
As a professional reviewer of martial arts DVDs/videos for Classical Fighting Arts magazine, my advice would be to keep your money in your pocket. Production quality is at the lower end of the amateur market-the JKA or Kawasoe series and the "All Kata of Shotokan Karate" series by the same author, are far better quality for up to 70% less money!
