Full Membership Karate Videos

I'm happy to announce that Full Membership Karate Videos on MyShotokan.com are available again - thanks to the tech support help of a man who lives 12 hours different time zone to my own.

I'm not sure I'll ever get over the global scope of things - lol.

Membership Downtime

I'd like to apologize to the newest Full Members to MyShotokan - I've messed up the admin system while uploading an update...

Technical support is not available because of the holidays.

I'll be certain to get everything back in order as soon as possible.

Yours in Karate-do

New Shotokan Karate Video Blogs

I've created a few new karate blogs to help me target the keyword phrase karate kata videos.

You can see the links along the side top left.

Soon you'll see my sites and blogs cluttering up the top of the searches in Google, MSN and Yahoo!

Blogging all that I'm doing

MyShotokan.com is a new site - and I've been working on it and changing things several times a day.

While MyShotokan.com did arise out of my 20-odd-year passion with karate, it is also intertwined with my business of creating and marketing websites for clients.

However, I am guilty of making many many updates and changes to the site and it's marketing strategies that I'm not writting here at my shotokan karate blog.

I'll try to make sure I keep better records so potential clients can see the business plan and case study as it is built and develops

MyShotokan Feedback Contest

Hello from MyShotokan.com

Today I'm PAYING $47 for your opinion!

This website grew out of a desire to provide my own karate students with easy access to videos of all the Shotokan Kata. As I was preparing for my Nidan testing, the junior belts were bewildered and fascinated by the Sr. Katas - and I wanted them to review the katas between classes...

From that - MyShotokan grew.

But the site is BRAND NEW - and I need your comments.

I'm willing to GIVE AWAY FULL MEMBERSHIPS to the first 20 people to reply to this email with a constructive review of your experience as a Free Member with MyShotokan.com

Bad News?

I don't care if you tell me bad news. If you don't like something, and you tell me - I'm HAPPY! Because now I can fix the problem and others won't experience it! I'm HAPPPPY to give you a Full Membership - and then I'll listen closely to your next review!!

Good News?

I'll be happy to feature good reviews on the homepage of MyShotokan.com with a thumbnail image and a link to your website!


Hurry - Do it NOW. Be one of the first 20 people!


Login and send a message to MyShotokan, or write a comment to this post!


You could get a $47 Lifetime Membership - Just for your Opinion!
