The ATSK E-Book of Fundamentals 

The E-Books have been produced as an aid to help people to access karate without having to attend a formal club and designed to allow anyone to pravtice and train in any setting. The E-Book has Kata, which is a form or pattern of pre-conceived movements, representing defences and counter-attacks, Kumite, which is is the sparring sets and application of techniques and Kihon, basic techniques.
There are five E-Books for differing levels, with Kata featured, each one being shown from three directions: slow speed 45 degrees from the right-hand side; fast 45 degrees from the left-hand side; and slow for behind. These directions cover every movement performed, and also give an indication of the speed of movement, the breathing control, and the focus of energy. 

Each Kata also has an accompanying page of text (on-screen), which gives an insight into the history and background of the Kata. 

Some of the movements are clarified to the viewer / practitioner by demonstrating the movements with an opponent attacking, so creating the relevant application. 



The retail price is £14.99 (UK STG) per E-Book as an online resource, with the full comprehsnsive E-Book availabe at £65.00 for all of the contents of all of the volumes 1-5
