Geir Støre (5th Dan)
This intriguing book is a must for all practitioners of karate. Geir Støre has conducted extensive research in writing this heavily illustrated book dedicated to training and performing kata as it should be.
The book deals with kata in all its forms- historical background; physical and mental approach; bunkai; training planning.
There is much to be found in this book for those who compete in kata competition, and indeed several sections are devoted to training, choice and presentation of competition kata. This is however not a book just for competition. Its thrust is relevant in any circumstances where kata is to be performed, and to any style, and many different stylists are represented in the photographs..
The book also contains a useful section on WKF rules, a kata list, and the compulsory Shitei list of katas for WKF rules elimination rounds.
Geir Støre, 5th Dan is a member of the BTKA and long term student of Chris Thompson. Geir is also responsible for running the Norwegian BTKA organisation.
