This course will give a complete understanding of the karate techniques need for the first belt in Shotokan karate. The video tutorials are very detailed but easy to understand and follow.

There are ten Shotokan karate video tutorials, plus some bonus videos and material that we hope will help you understand the physical and philosophical sides of Shotokan karate.

Shotokan karate is a facsinating art that encompasses so much more than just self defense alone. In the bonus material we cover some of the many areas of Shotokan karate.

We cover the karate warm up and stretch in detail, followed by the Karate bow (rei) and forming the karate fist (seiken).

The straight punch (choku zuki) video covers the basic punch, but does also go into some advanced details to take your punch to the next level.

All of the remaining video tutorials are the same, in that they cover the basic technique, but also cover some advanced details.

We have tried to cram as much detail in the shortest time possible, because we realize how busy everybody is.

These tutorials are very detailed and repetition is the way to understand and be able to execute these karate techniques properly.

We encourage our students to take their time and move slowly at first.

Once each technique is fully understood, then speed up the techniques.

I hope you enjoy this introductory course to Shotokan Karate.
