Learn Karate using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

Using our app, you can study Shotokan karate kata. The apps show the katas move by move by swiping a finger. They also let you look at the katas from all four sides to see the moves from different directions.

With your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad in your hand, you can review the moves of the katas in slow motion, then practice at full speed.

There are buttons to repeat a move, go backwards and start over.

The benefit over a YouTube video is the ability to easily stop and go back just one move, or work on 2-3 moves over and over again.

This approach offers students a way to learn the movements of a kata at their own pace, or the ability to review a kata outside the dojo, then be able to practice it in class without worrying about the moves or the sequence, thus allowing more attention in the class to correct performance of the techniques.
