Video preservation/video presentation

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.
