JITTE

KATA BUNKAI

From accaimed martial-arts film director James Copple comes the hard-hitting, action-packed study of Shotokan Karate KATA JITTE. 5th Dan expert Mark Carroll brings this explosive system of techniques to life in a comprehensive, easy-to-follow way of learning not commonly used in the dojo since the days of Matsumura and Itosu. For more than 100 years, the true meanings of kata movements have been obscured by a 'neo-traditional' approach to the purpose of karate-do. For decades, students have practised empty, meaningless kata, with no understanding of their potentially devastating consequenses. Now, for the first time on film, Sensei Carroll takes dedicated karate students back in time, to the days when learning kata was not a pastime, but a dangerous job with a deadly purpose. The object of this film is not to teach the kata - this is a task for the student to accomplish in his own dojo. The purpose of this film is to open the eyes of the modern karate student to the true purpose of kata. To discover the truth behind this kata, sit back, open your eyes, and enjoy KATA JITTE.

Sensei HARRY COOK has reviewed this film. He had this to say:

"Overall I enjoyed the DVD: at times it was as if I was listening to myself!! If you want a quote, this might help: 'A finger pointing at the moon - look and learn.'"
