Soooo, as long as your expectations are clear and you just want documentation of the steps, it's well worth owning. In other words, you see all the motions but do not get any description of practical street-worthy applications from them (there's only so much you can pack into one book anyway it's already 300 pages). It falls seriously short, however, if you're looking for insight into bunkai (applications) for the kata. It's a thorough step-by-step description of the various Shotokan kata, an invaluable resource for karateka who are looking to remember the sequences of these various forms. ![]() This book is either an outstanding tome or a mediocre one, depending on what you're looking for. ![]()
