1.0 out of 5 stars The Sad Truth, February 16, 2007

This review is from: Eight Deadly Samurai Sword Cuts of Miyamoto Musashi Vol. 1 (DVD)

It should be noted by any who would be willing to buy a DVD like this that George Alexander has no affiliation with Heiho Niten Ichi Ryu (the the fighting style of Miyamoto Musashi). I honestly cannot challenge the effectiveness of anything Alexander attempts to teach the viewer of this DVD, but I can challenge it's authenticity in regards to being the fighting style of Miyamoto Musashi.

1.0 out of 5 stars fat, slow and inaccurate. Musashi must be rolling over in his grave., June 17, 2007

This review is from: Eight Deadly Samurai Sword Cuts of Miyamoto Musashi Vol. 1 (DVD)

I am sorry to say that I actually own this. I believe that if one is to demonstrate the techniques of Musashi one must honor him by doing the movements without supplemental Oxygen. A true practitioner understands that if one is out of shape then one cannot continue the battle. Alexander breathes heavily through the entire DVD that some of it is hard to understand. His cuts are slow and awkward like a novice, a total fish out of water. Anyone that thinks that his cuts are impressive are clueless. Cutting sticks does not show ones ablity to cut, a cheap alternative to Goza or Tatami are water bottles. If one is able to pass a blade through a water bottle without disturbing it understands the principles of cutting. Do myspace search for [e-mail] to watch a real cut! How can you sleep at night knowing that you put out such garbage? Musashi must be rolling over in his grave!!!!
