"Very well done as a training companion for young karate beginners, both in content and design. Recommended book."

(Amazon review)

"The book is a very good addition to the detailed 'black books'. Ideal for the sports bag, to be able to quickly look up something when it is needed. In addition, compact, robust, with unsurpassed good representations of the kata."

Roland Hochstrasser

"Finally, a book that clearly and easily describes karate techniques and illustrates them with drawings."

Jan Makowski

"As an advanced budoka, I have often wondered how I can make sense of my martial arts in my personal and professional life. This book has given me the answer."

Regine Werner

"I think the books in this series are great, well drawn and very easy to understand. Thanks also for the extra fast delivery."

Heiko Woodpecker

"THE standard book of kata par excellence. A MUST for every karateka! Indispensable for precision and clean technique. Thank you for your great performance Sensei Fiore. I have now finally completed the four volumes!"

Vitali B.

"When I flipped through the book for the first time, it was clear to me, this will be added to my little karate library.... excellently described and suitable as a reference book for students, but especially for trainers. Many thanks to you."

Anke Nicoloff

"This is a must-have!
If you are looking for a reference book for the sequence of katas in the Shōtōkan, you can't go past this work!"

Bünde

"Great! First class book, great applications!"

Mendel

"Good continuing education. I think the book is well done. As a fresh DAN carrier I could improve subtleties in the execution. Sure, you've heard it before, but now it's bundled. Hip use and speed come into play. Quick to understand due to good writing style."
