Hamate I found this website very useful it has basics, combinations, kata and pair techniques for all grades. The katas can be viewed as a video, as separate images or words. www.hamate.co.uk
http://seinenkai.com/articles.html also posted in the old masters thread, but also has some other stuff so worth posting here too.
http://www.downloadkarate.com/index.asp?Sec_ID=351 some good vids on this website. TBH it's the website of my Sensei's Association, there's helpful vids with contributions from clubs in japan, and Camillio Shotokan in Cali, run my Sensei young. lots of stuff on Bunkai, and good kata and kumite advice for high kyu grades (6th-2nd kyu).
A former Sensei of mine has written a book about his time training in Kyokushin and competing in knockdown. It's [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Way-of-Knockdown-ebook/dp/B00CMQYP6K/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368025200&sr=1-1&keywords=the+way+of+knockdown"]available for Kindle/PC[/ame] if anyone is interested Mitch
I only downloaded it yesterday so not read it yet. It's more a personal history of a British and International Open Kyokushim champion rather than a "how to do Knockdown" book I think. I'll post again when I've finished it Mitch
That's cool, I prefer those type of books anyhow...far more interesting! If sent the free sample to my tablet for the kindle app so will check it out
Thanks for posting this Mitch. I've been pleasantly surprised by the reviews on Amazon. Seems not everyone wants to read about 'naturals' and the story of someone who struggled a bit (me) rings a few bells. Gary
My thanks to everyone who bought it and for some great reviews on Amazon.co.uk It seems to have hit the spot about perseverance being the key, not 'mere' talent. Gary
