| Issue | Suggested Remedy | |-------|------------------| | | While the book covers a wide range of topics, some advanced practitioners may find the treatment of higher‑level kata and competitive kumite a bit surface‑level. A supplemental volume focused solely on advanced kata (e.g., Kanku Sho , Jion ) would be a valuable addition. | | PDF Formatting | In the digital PDF version, some diagrams lose sharpness when zoomed in, which can be frustrating when trying to see fine footwork details. A higher‑resolution PDF or an accompanying e‑Pub version could resolve this. | | Cultural Sensitivity | A few sections briefly mention traditional Japanese terminology without providing phonetic guides or context for non‑Japanese speakers. Adding a glossary of Japanese terms (with pronunciation) would make the book more accessible to a global audience. | | Interactive Elements | The QR‑linked videos are useful, but they require an internet connection and a separate device. An integrated video player within the PDF (or a companion app) could streamline the learning experience. |
