Great content, however…
Having issues with the content loading (it does not), running iOS 26 on iPad and iPhone. Not sure of the issue, don’t have problems with other apps.
Love it, incredible resource.
I started training in karate in the 1980s but it’s only in recent years that I’ve become aware of Iain Abernethy, and his approach to kata application. This app has really opened my eyes and got me rethinking my understanding of karate. The app is an absolutely fantastic resource for practical kata application and much more. I wish it had been available when I started, or at least the training methods described in the app, been more widely practiced.

The perfect way to learn how to actually apply your karate
Both this app and Iain’s overall approach are perfect for the martial arts practitioner who wants to functionalise their training and make sure that they can actually pull off the techniques in a real life context. From applications to impact drills to concepts this is the best way I’ve seen to make Karate functional again.

Superb content
This app has amazing content for anyone looking at the practical application of a kata.If you only ever seen them at stupid dances in a weird looking pajamas, then this is something that you really need to take a look at. If you love kata, this is definitely the app for you. If you want to learn more about karate’s application in real self-defense, this is an app for you. Iain’s insight is nothing short of profound. Being able to see new content so often has expanded my horizons as a student and teacher.

This is everything I’ve been looking for.
No more endless searching through YouTube to find what I’m looking for! The app has bunkai for every part of every kata that’s on there, as well as solo drills, partner drills, ground drills, impact training and takedowns/throws. I almost hate to say this, but you could learn everything you need to know from this app.
Looking for answers on your kata? Well, here they are.

Outstanding value
If you are a progressive karate practitioner interested in the more practical rather than sports-centric side of Karate, this app is absolutely OUTSTANDING value for money. It’s filled to the brim with pre-recorded content, and also gives access to exclusive live seminars. Iain also has a brilliant knack of putting across the content in a way that educates and entertains. In my opinion, this app is worth every penny of the monthly fee, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Brilliant Source of Information
I've been a subscriber of this app since it's been running and I think it's great. Not only as a martial arts teacher, but as a student too. Iain Abernethy's clear and understandable lessons make the use of this information, plus the application to actual use a joy, and it's great to use for a recap on things that may have been missed, or even forgotten by those of us who attend his awesome seminars and classes around the world.
Regular updates, in depth topics, and even the recent live train-alongs make this a valuable part of my education. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An invaluable resource
Iain has really outdone himself with this app. Thousands of videos all in one place. The menus are well organized, you can easily find content relating to whatever kata or training approach you are looking for. I could not recommend more highly.
Plenty of good info
Good to see it covers many different styles
An invaluable tool for any martial artist
I learned of Mr. Abernethy through his YouTube channel and was impressed with not only his expertise and erudition but his ability to communicate the material in an enjoyable manner. When I attended one of his seminars, his open and friendly demeanor convinced me he was going to bring great things to the practice of world martial arts. I am an early adopter of this app and recommend it to any colleagues and students looking to increase their understanding. Don’t hesitate and get this app!

Ridiculous amount of information
It is overwhelming how many resources are at your disposal. Must have for martial artists!
Great app!
Great app applicable to all martial artists, Kata application videos, concept videos, workouts, you name it, it’s here!
My only constructive criticism is that when I try to use it on my iPad I cannot scroll to the very last video in the lists, it just won’t seem to go down that far and stay there, it scrolls back up To the last-but-one.
Kind regards,
David
