The greatest thing about the 21st century is the visual presentation and preservation of traditional arts that are simultaneously of ancient origin and undergoing contemporary evolution.

While many fine martial arts books were published in the 20th century, even the best are not better than more current presentations that you can speed up; slow down; reverse; and tirelessly study to examine any art.

While no substitute for a teacher let me say just one word: Pandemic!

‘Nuff said.

So I give the DVD specifically and any tradition in general five stars that is attempting to save martial arts history for posterity!

Perfect even if you don’t speak Japanese! You have eyes don’t you?
And if you have ever traveled to study with a traditional master on home turf; then you know that the discipline of “watch and learn” is the order of the day anyway.

great masters

I learned a lot. Since everyone is attacking legs nowadays, this is important knowledge to know. Thank you Bjorn!

The taijutsu series or densho are an invaluable reference to explore katas and techniques in your school, especially for teachers. Having a central source of terms with a glossary, names in English and Japanese forbtechbiques makes me a better instructor. We are having fun comparing old school things with modern version in other arts as well.

Great instructional
Already putting some of the techniques to use

If you can’t get the live training then this is the way.

Great Video. Exactly what I was looking for.

love this Gi...I ordered a second one different colors a week or two after receiving the first.

Very useful for all BJJ practitioners

I received the books I ordered in the expected condition. New and properly packaged.

I like them

I have a sword by Gassan Sadatoshi in the exclusive 8 Samurai Series (the most exclusive art club in the world). He is one of only eight to produce swords for this group. He will probably be named next Living National Treasure.

I have not received the video DVD set. Not sure why. Looking into it. Thank you
