Editorial Reviews

This terrific video features many of Japan’s Judo masters including Dago Sensei who was responsible for much of this video as technical advisor and as well was one of the top instructors at the Kodokan in Tokyo for many years.

You will be able to learn perfect break falls at both regular and slow motion speeds. You will also be taught all the proper terminology.

Narrated by martial arts authority and historian Damion G. Chambers this video is interesting, informative and entertaining.

Any student of judo or the grappling arts will appreciate the quality of this black and white historically significant video which was discovered in the archives of American martial arts icon Mel Bruno. Approx 30 Minutes B/W

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor audio/video mastering, October 15, 2003

This review is from: Japanese Judo Masters - d (DVD)

I might have been able to overlook the narrator's butchering of the Japanese language. However, the choppiness of audio/video playback made the DVD unwatchable. I'm returning my DVD in case it's simply defective, but take this as a warning.

The little bit that I was able to view lacked the production quality (details, camera angles) of more modern products.
