    I couldn't have made a better decision!
  

*by K***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2009*

The book is great. I plan on buying the whole set in time. I'm a 8th kyu yellow belt in Shotokan and this book has helped me greatly with my kata. The step by step instructions are great and it makes learning the a lot simpler, it's great being able to double check that you're in the right stance, aiming at the right spot, or doing a technique correctly when practicing on your own. I'm a collegiate competitor who started karate last fall, and all ready I'm beating entire teams of orange belts in competitions. After buying this book I've taken first in all my kata competitions (there's only been one, but still, I was the lowest rank =P). You won't regret buying this book, it's great.ps: I can't wait to go to Master Camp this summer being a yellow belt that knows all the kata's a purple belt should have learned ;D

    Fantastic Series!
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013*

Photos show a series of pictures, which lets the reader view the entire process of moves to go from step to step (not just the ending pose).  Kata lines and overhead photos let you view directions to be facing with foot, hand, body, stance, and posture.  English and (Romanized) Japanese help the user understand and connect with what is taught in the dojo and training seminars.  If you are needing a first or only book for a starting Shotokan karate athlete, this is the one you should buy (Volume 5)!  All of Nakayama's Best Karate series books are the standards that organizations depend upon.

    The Essential Shotokan
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2012*

I bought this book many years ago, when I first started Shotokan.  Recently, when my young daughters began their Shotokan training, and were begging to learn their first katas, I wanted to review the early Heians to make sure I was accurate on some of the more obscure hand, foot and body positions.  Unfortunately, I could not find my old copy, so I order another from Amazon.  Wonderfully precise instruction on the basic mechanics of Shotokan Karate, or traditional Japanese karate.  It is an outstanding resource for karateka of Shotokan.
