Self-Study Courses: Karate

Karate DVDs or Downloads at a Reduced Price

Choose a program of study (no exam given or ranks awarded) from the choices below. You can study the DVDs in the suggested order, skip one or two, or create your own order. 

After a membership of only $29.00 (good for 1 year), we will send you a purchase code within 24 hours that will give you 20% off on any or all of the DVDs in the course you choose. Wait for the code before you order these videos, otherwise the 20% reduction will not apply. You can buy them all at once, once a month, or whenever you like during the year. All the videos you choose from your course will also be 20% off for one year.  

NB: These discounts apply to individual DVDs and DVD sets, not to collective multi-DVD specials. 

Go to one of the courses listed below and check out a few of the video samples. Join the program for $29.00, and then use the emailed code to enjoy a 20% reduction on the DVDs listed in your course.

Important Note: Please do not share your code. If your code is used by anyone other than you, your membership will be canceled without refund.
