Hungry for real karate knowledge?
Look no further Tsunami Productions
Karate Videos Tsunami, is a brand name that surpasses all others. No other training videos for karate even approach the quality of Tsunami Productions. They feature the best karate instructors in the world , they are filmed on a modern TV soundstage and/or on location in Japanese gardens, traditional dojo, and places of great natural beauty. Tsunami offers an inexhaustible source of knowledge that you will refer to constantly and that is not available elsewhere!
Many people start karate with genuine enthusiasm only to drop out before they reach first dan. An important reason for this are the bad habits they pick up in their early training that make it difficult, if not impossible, to reach higher skill levels later on. Instruction from the leading practitioners of a style is the best supplement to local dojo training that exists. However, training in Japan/Okinawa is costly, and many of the best instructors teach only in juku (closed) dojo where attendance is by invitation only. To overcome this problem, Tsunami Productions persuaded many of the top karate instructors in the world to share their skills in a library of professionally made instructional DVDs. Strong personal connections helped overcome the prejudice against karate DVDs caused by the proliferation of
sub-standard products flooding the market. Finally a group of the very best instructors in the world agreed to teach everything from basics to advanced techniques for us with their personal recommendations (voiced over in English) so our viewers could understand not only how to do techniques, but why!
The Tsunami DVD collection programs are made in studio and on location in California with the greatest instructors in the world. They are broadcast quality, the sort of material you would see on the History and Discovery Channels, and convenient to use with menus and music/narration soundtracks which make comprehension easy and enjoyable.
