Publisher Description

Who has not been through this? You learn a kata, you practice it a few

times, and then put it aside. And so it often happens that, in the

middle of performing the kata, the karateka is not sure of the sequence

and no longer knows how to continue the kata.

”If only I could find some place to look it up,” he thinks, ”I’d soon

master the whole sequence.”

This book is meant to be that desired reference book.

A Must-Have Reference for Shotokan Karateka

For anyone practicing Shotokan Karate, this book is a game-changer. I had long been searching for a clear, structured, and visually intuitive guide to kata—something I could quickly reference whenever I got stuck on a sequence or felt uncertain about a particular movement. Shotokan Kata - Up to Black Belt (Vol. 1) by Fiore Tartaglia delivers exactly that.

The book is designed as a practical companion to in-person training, not a replacement. The step-by-step illustrations are incredibly well-organized, showing each movement from a consistent perspective with additional side views when necessary. The simplified enbusens help clarify footwork and directional changes, making it easy to visualize how a kata should flow.

One of the standout features is the legend on the front-cover flap, which provides an at-a-glance reference for all the symbols used in the book. This makes deciphering techniques much quicker, especially when reviewing a kata before practice.

If you’ve ever forgotten part of a kata mid-performance or struggled to remember a transition, this book is the perfect solution. It’s concise, well-structured, and indispensable for any karateka working toward their black belt. Highly recommended!
