This unique DVD contains approximately 2 hours of Wado Karate techniques, performed by Ishikawa sensei, 8th Dan.

The DVD has been recorded in 2006 and was released in January 2007. In this period, Ishikawa sensei was very ill, suffering from cancer and was told not to do anything by doctors advice. Still, he insisted in recording his movement. The results of a lifetime of karate experience and the will power to record so many techniques when advised not to, are on this DVD. We are proud to present the final work of Ishikawa sensei.
