Budovideos.com - Takamatsu: The Last Real Ninja DVD

Toshitsugu Takamatsu was the teacher of Masaaki Hatsumi in various ninjutsu traditions including Togakure Ryu. This DVD was released 33 years after Hatsumi received his "menkyo kaiden" (complete mastery) of the art from Takamatsu. 33 is an auspicious number in Buddhist and Ninjutsu traditions.

This amazingly well produced documentary includes an in depth discussion with Hatsumi in which various photos are shown and memories are shared. The last 35 minutes feature rare film footage of Takamatsu instructing Hatsumi as a young man. Fascinating footage of the "last real ninja".

Most relatively new DVD players have the ability to convert signals from NTSC to PAL or vice versa. We sell NTSC and PAL DVDs to customers all over the world on a daily basis without much problem. Occasionaly there are a few customers with older set top DVD players that cannot do a signal conversion.
