The Beginner's Guide to Shotokan Karate: Beginner to Black Belt

Rating:
Summary: Beginner's Bible
Review: This is a high quality book with an excellent photographic layout clearly showing each move with intermediate shots and a short explanatory text. Includes photos of the application of some techniques. I've had my copy for almost ten years, and I still occasionally pull it out for a look over. If you're looking for a reference book for the basic Shotokan katas, I haven't seen one better than this.
