Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The San Ten no Kata, by Sensei Vincent A. Cruz, is a series of five drills for students of Shotokan karate. The drills introduce all of the techniques used in the traditional Shotokan katas in a natural sequence of study that progresses from white belt to grey belt levels. Each drill exercises ten specific hand and foot techniques, with an emphasis on balanced development on the left and right sides. Each drill is similar to a vigorous 100-step kata. San Ten dojos use the San Ten no Kata drills as basic instruction, as warm-up exercises, as tests, and for spirit training.

This book is very disappointing for a true Karate practitioner. It's written by a karate instructor that assisted to a Karate seminar wearing a sweater instead of his Karate uniform. Don't waste your time and money.

I thought there would be more to this book than 50 basic techniques broken into sets of 10. Seriously though, that is all there is to this book. So, save your money and do this: think of 10 karate techniques, step back to perform the very first one, then step forward in varying stances appropriate for each technique in sets of 3, turning after every set, repeat. There is nothing exciting or innovative here.

This is one of the few books that were actually written for instructors. Vincent A. Cruz gives us an insight on kihon training that is no where else to be found. He is not only giving a guideline in his book but he encourages the instructor and student to think and create on his own. He makes a point that drills are not mindless exercise but an nessesity for advanced Kata Training and understanding of Kata Application. I hope we will be seeing more books from him.

As a karate practitioner of many years, I found that training with the San Ten No Kata has been extremely helpful in improving my karate training. I've known Sensei Cruz for close to 30 years, and I find him to be one of the most knowledgeable martialists in the world. It pleases me that he put this work together for all of us. Sensei Cruz took the 50 techniques of karate and put them together in a simple training routine. In a short time, with the understanding of body dynamics, you can master these techniques.

As a Martial Arts Instructor, this book has helped to give me
another great tool to use for training my students. I have been
using it for a short time so far but each time my students refer to this publication it has helped answere many questions as to movement and positioning of techniques. You can tell there has been quite a few years of study in the Martial Arts to come up with these sets of "No Kata" to help with training. I think this is a must book as a reference guide to Shotokan students. Also other styles can still recieve benifit from this book.
