From acclaimed martial-arts film director James Copple comes the hard-hitting, action-packed study of Shotokan Karate Kata Jitte.  This, the first film made, is raw, rough, and beautiful as a result.  5th-Dan expert Sensei 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.  

The purpose of this film is to open the eyes of the modern karate student to the true purpose of kata.
