Title: could be better
Review: This tape has several problems that one would think should not be. The first is sound quality. Alexander was not miked and you can barely hear him on the tape. When you can hear him his voice echoes through the dojo making him hard to understand.Another problem with this tape is the lack of a slow-motion performance of the kata. Although Alexander performs the kata at a slower pace, some of the subtle movements are hard to follow. In addition, his expanation of the moves is lacking. It appears as though there is an assumed base understanding of the kata.The reviews of the DVD are much better than the reviews of the VHS. Perhaps the slow foward options on the DVD help make up for the lack of a slow-motion performance. Given the option, going for the DVD may be a wiser choice.
