Beautiful kata. I am a huge fan of Kanazawa ...
Beautiful kata. I am a huge fan of Kanazawa and this is a very well done video. Not one of twenty-six but a wonderful kata to explore and enjoy.

incomprehensible English
While the *visual* demonstration of the various stances in this DVD is fairly clear, Kancho Hirokazu's broken English makes it nearly impossible to understand what he is saying or what the names of the techniques are. As instructional material, it is very poor, since one can't understand what he is saying. I have seen other karate DVDs where a fluent English voice explains what the particular sensei in those DVDs is saying (e.g. "functional karate"). I don't recommend this DVD.

Mastering Powerful Kicks
I strongly recommend it to everyone wanting to learn the secrets to mastering powerful kicks. The section on stances was trully great, and is very handy for kata lovers. If you want to learn from the best Masters Shotokan has to offer, Kancho Kanazawa is the one.

Twenty eight what?
Given the fact that no one involved in the production of this show obviously knew anything about Shotokan karate, one wonders whether they mixed up Nijushiho (twenty-four steps) kata with the something else, or whether we have a Shotokan instructor here claiming to teach Chinese Wu-Shu. Definitely one to avoid!
