5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best all-time martial arts documentaries.,

This review is from: Japanese Karate - Ryobukai & Shotokan (Tsunami) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Thanks to professional historians, such as David Chambers, much information about the history of karate is now available. The information was verified, cross-checked and validated. This particular video describes the _critical_ role Yasuhiro Konishi played in the development and acceptance of karate in Japan. There may never have been a "Shotokan" legacy if it wasn't for Konishi's influence. The production quality is also first-rate, comparable to any high-quality documentary of any genre or topic. This is a MUST-HAVE for any serious traditional karateka.

This review is from: Japanese Karate - Ryobukai & Shotokan (Tsunami) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I bought this video because I heard it was a best-seller in Japan, even though it was made in the US. Anybody that sees it can understand why. The history is fascinating; the top level demonstrations are awesome and the overall production quality the sort of thing you'd expect from A&E or the Discovery Channel. I never get tired of watching it.
