Karate: Ultimate Body Conditioning DVD by Tak Kubota

They should really change this DVDs name, the DVD has little to no actuall instruction on body conditioning, it starts off as a brief historic introduction about TAK, shows him doing some early morning stretches (no explination) then it goes through a regular class, nothing special really, after this it skips into an old video of Tak hitting the makiawara board and jumping on his toes, once again no explination as to what this helps with and how to develop it, NOTHING, then it skips again to modern time, to Tak hitting the board in his class, again no explination not even how to make that cool makiawara he has set up there

In the end it was interesting to watch how a karate class is run by a master but Im really disapointed with the way this DVD is marketed, it really makes you think that you will learn some great techniques and even how to build a makiawara but you get none of that here, If your interested to take a look at a great master taking a class, get this, but if you are looking for useable techniques to condition your body for fighting this is not it

Twenty stars out five. Excellent production and quality in the techniques. I'm very impressed. Highly recommended
