The first complete explanations of the Ed Parker "basics and exercise forms" ever published. Contains a history of the forms and reasons for learning and practicing them. Overview and detail of the forms with themes and sub-themes. Thesis requirements, practice methods and competition tips.

It's the next best thing to having Mr. Wedlake as your instructor.

If you are learning or revisiting the forms you "have to" get this book. Are you in the AKTS system? ... then definitely get this book. Mr. Wedlake explains not only how to do the forms but how to practice to develop different aspects of the forms, why the movements are in the forms, and many deeper aspects of the forms. If you want to be a student who is not just "going through the motions" this is the best source of information I have found as opposed to the dozens of step-by-step "instructions" on how to execute the forms. If I am wrong and if there is another book or source of information that is as good or better in terms of depth and clarity, or even something that is almost as good, please let me know in the comments, I would appreciate it. By the way, this one (201) covers the first four forms through blue belt and so it is a bargain at 15 bucks.

Really good

The book cover somem of the basic forms, as you can see in the index. HIghly recomended for starters. Sometimes the masters doesn't take the time to show with patience or maybe the class content it's too much. This book is a good reference to remember what you have been doing in class.

Not a simple how-to but a useful 'why'

As a practioner of the more 'traditional' karate, I started studying the Kenpo system by myself - out of curiosity. I discovered a well structured system, logically built up and educationally very nice. This book - and the rest of the series - succeeded in providing me with a lot of useful information which I can, as surplus, also apply to the 'traditional' karate. This series is definitely worth the money.
By the way, Funakoshi Soke, Mabuni Soke, Jigoro Kano Soke and other greats in the martial arts were actually pioneers, not traditionalists. So the word 'traditional' is only relative.
