June 17, 200719 yr Hmmm...actually, that's pretty darn good stuff there. To tell the truth, as some of you know anyway, Shotokan had never really impressed me before watching that video. I was definitely impressed at the speed, timing and good techniques there though. Good stuff! If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.

June 17, 200719 yr that is a pretty sweet trailer. looks like some good stuff there. let us know how the actual vids are.
June 18, 200719 yr I've seen tidbits of the vids myself. I'll say this - they impressed me more then any other Shotokan related thing I've seen. "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky
June 18, 200719 yr I've never seen it. But it looks pretty good. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

June 29, 200719 yr It seems that a lot of the material on these videos is from the 1970/80's, when the UK and the world were blessed with top JKA instructors such as the late and legendary Keinosuke Enoeda who taught Shotokan, the hardcore way, and who inspired and demanded the best from their students. They did not cut corners and worked their students hard and with discipline.Unfortunately there aren't many senseis of their calibre around nowadays. The few that are around cannot use the same teaching methods as before as they would not have many students in their classes. Fighting arts that were not effective for fighting and selfdefense, never lasted long enough in martial arts history, to gain the Traditional Martial Arts - TMA - status.
