 Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2004 3:19 am Post subject: Free Karate Downloads and Ebooks? |
 |
|
Hello Everyone,
New karateka (6 months training in Shotokan) and new to this group. I’ve really enjoyed looking at all the stuff on this site! I’ve also been surfing the web looking for “free stuff” which will help me to develop my karate knowledge. I’ve found some good free downloads on all aspects of karate at www.karatetips.com and some good free e-books on the kata applications (bunkai?) and applied karate at www.ianabernethy.com and I was wondering if there are any other good downloads / free e-books that others could recommend?
Thanks,
Bill |

Hi
I hope this isn't against the rules and I accept if it is that my post may be wiped.
Try out my site Karate Resource for some free downloads and eBooks, articles etc. We put new stuff on pretty much every week!

AngelaG, good site. I like the bunkai part of it. Are you going to put the bunkai up for other forms/katas? I like to see ones for Pyung ahn e dan (Heian Ni dan).

Yep, I hope to put up the 27 Shotokan Kata, all with some bunkai. You have to excuse the fact that it may be a bit at the time but I work full time, I do freelance web design, I do my karate training and I am an assistant instructor at my club  so time is limited. Then working with Martyn Harris Sensei we may work on the RyuKyu Kata/Bunkai. What will eventually happen is that all the kata will be done slow and fast for free download, with some free bunkai as is there. Then we will do a really good quality shoot of each kata, go into real depth with the bunkai, break the kata right down, provide historical information and basically as much as possible and burn it to DVD to sell on as an accompaniment to the website (at a very good price... none of these rip-off prices for a poor quailiy shoot!). But that's a lot more in the future, currently we are working on getting as much free info up as soon as possible, because it's more about sharing the knowledge rather than making a profit... but I need to cover the costs of the server/domain/videos etc.

As an addendum.. I love the bunkai I have for Heian Nidan. It's a great Kata... and a great start! Should start filming Heian Nidan and Heian Sandan next week!
