 OK Film November 6, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was hoping to get more history on the Samuri but it was basically a documentary on how people are trained in the various martial arts. It wasn't material I hadn't seen before. I would have kids see it.
 a classic October 17, 2007
Although a little dated and occasionally slow paced, this is
a wonderful overview of Japanese martial arts and the martial spirit.
Classic documentary October 5, 2007

This documentary was filmed in the late 1970's, in Japan, and shows off most Japanese martial arts. Many well known martial arts masters are featured including:
Gozo Shioda (Aikido)
Takamiyama (Sumo)
Taizaburo Nakamura (Iaido)
Sadaharu Fujimoto (Karate)
Teruo Hayashi (Okinawa Kobudo)
There are also many other Judo, Kendo, Naginata and Samarai sword masters featured. The film takes place in Dojos and outdoors and shows off some of Japan's natural beauty very well. The film also covers some historical areas and a certain amount of the philosophy behind martial arts. What it shows best of all is the dedication and skill required to become skillful in any of these arts. This is an essential purchase for the enthusiatic martial arts student.
 I've loved this movie ever since it came out June 8, 2007

This documentary is in the top 5 of all time. I watch it almost ceremoniously once a month because it's so enjoyable. (I usually FF past the festival part near the end, but the rest is pure gold.)
A true classic documentary. April 30, 2007
This DVD is something I treasure; it contains a great and detailed glimpse into the ways of the warriors of Japan, with looks at some of their greatest arts. I heartily recommend every martial artist pick this up for their library.
