"One of the most proficient fighters I've ever seen is Norbert Donnelly. His expertise comes from being able to use near perfect form in sparring. I spent time with Uezu and Donnelly. Of all the people I trained with, Donnelly had to be the most impressive using Isshinryu right out of the box in sparring. It was like he was doing a kata and you walked through it."

From authoring the first book on Isshinryu Karate, to his other published books, and new online instructional program, Sensei Norbert Donnelly has once again demonstrated his command of the information and the ability to convey it by making this material accessible to students and teachers in a way that is both authentic and thought provoking.
I began studying karate with Master Donnelly in 1972 and have trained and taught continuously since that time. I look forward to using this innovative new tool for my own practice as well as for my students in the dojo. I wholeheartedly recommend this new tool (as well as all of Sensei Donnelly’s publications) for your own personal growth as well as a teaching tool for your students.

Norbert Donnelly is a gentleman among gentlemen. There’s an old saying, “Those that can’t do – teach”. When it comes to Norbert Donnelly, the statement should read, “Those that excel and are willing to share their knowledge don’t just teach – They Motivate”. Norbert Donnelly is that kind of person. He’s one of the best! I’ve seen his passion for teaching. His intellect and communication skills are unmatched. Your Style or level doesn’t matter, Norbert can help you reach and even surpass your goals.
