Description

This is a really great dvd, showing you how to train and improve in kyokushin karate, one of the more intense and full contact versions of karate and a very good offensive and defensive martial art. The dvd is narrated in english language and is 3.5 hrs long.There are three sections on this disc, the first one explains and teaches dojo etiquette, stances, warm up techniques and also basic techniques of punching, striking and blocking. These are very technically in depth to really explain the ideas and principles behind these techniques. Good for beginnners, but also helpful for more advanced martial artists as getting the basics perfected is important. As the saying goes, you can’t build a strong house on weak foundations! The second section of the disc explains kicking, other strikes, moving and breathing techniques. Once again very indepth explanations to get you to grasp why these things are so important. As well as these lessons, all the kata from kyokushin are also included and explained for you to be able to practice at home to supplement your dojo training. On the third section of the disc, self defence techniques are demonstrated. They are demonstrated at full speed and then shown in slow motion to clearly demonstrate the principles behind them. Also included is a collection of full contact fighting clips demonstrating kyokushin karate in action! Enjoy!
