May I just say that these new
productions are really excellent and having just recieved Vol10 I
would just like to say that I never tire of hearing your
explanations of Kata application principles and historical
background. I find myself nodding my head in agreement and wishing
that I had been privy to this knowledge thirty years ago...never
mind, as you say Karate is a lifelong practice and I am
just so glad that you are sharing your experience with us all. Thank
you...

McCarthy Sensei, I am slowly working
my way through your DVD catalogue and I must say they continue to
impress me. Its exactly what it says on the package (which is a nice
change - not novice stuff but years of study for Dan grade students).
I am in the progress of adopting several of your drills in our
training programme - with lots of positive feedback from the Dan
grades. The majority of my Dan grades are serving police officers and
they have certainly bought into the principles you teach. Believe
me, this is a highly critical audience who would let me know if they
thought any of your stuff wouldn't work! I also give you credit as the
source of the drills, which may be unusual - it certainly was for one
of my previous teachers! I have been highly amused by some of the
negative Youtube comments your videos attracted. It simply proves the
wisdom of the saying, "Why be upset when a dog barks at you?"
Paper tigers would never step into the void or ever put themselves in
that position. Your teaching does make sense, it makes karate
come alive. I could be wrong but, in my opinion, most people want to
learn a martial art that actually works. Unfortunately, most people
buy into a story at most karate schools, which in reality are run by
paper tigers or as a corporation/business. I can't wait for you to
release more DVDs and books. - Neil Muirhead, Risca
