KataGuide vs Nihongo Master Dictionary

We celebrate the 56th Year Anniversary of Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate USA with the release of the mobile app of our treasured Kata Guide. What I enjoy most about this demonstration is, at that time, I was training under the guidance of Grand Master Ansei Ueshiro. I dedicate this App to his memory. — Hanshi Scaglione The entire 90-minute Kata Guide has been remastered for your mobile device. Pinch to Zoom and Hold Finger to Reposition.
