Edmond Otis, 7th Dan, demonstrates and narrates this instructive and dynamic DVD/VHS how-to series, clearly illustrating the relationship between karate’s techniques, principles, and applications in a fresh and eye-opening way. Not theory, for theory’s sake, but what every karate-ka needs to make their kata, bunkai, kumite, and self-defence more natural and effective!

The companion workbook is designed to emphasize all the key aspects, concepts, and principles demonstrated in the Essential Shotokan Series using a read-along, question and answer format, ideal for all levels of ability - beginner, intermediate, and advanced karate-ka!

By combining this workbook with the enclosed cuting edge, crystal-clear, multi-camera, digitally mastered DVD-video, this How-To series is surprising in its depth, clarity, and detail - it is unlike anything on the market today. No karate library is complete without it!

The DVD is included with the purchase of this workbook!
