Doing more than merely showing the techniques, the DVDs take students through the finer points of each technique, with common mistakes being pointed out and areas of “fine-tuning” being demonstrated.  The DVDs also promote the all-important values of discipline, spirit and respect.

Karate Respect

The DVDs will be particularly invaluable to Samurai Karate’s students, however the wealth of information on them would also be of great benefit to all Shukokai practitioners.  The DVDs will also be of interest to students of other martial arts, who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of this style of Karate, which is renowned for its quick, powerful and highly-effective techniques.
