Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Author Michael Crichton and director Philip Kaufman had a falling-out over the script for this film, based on Crichton's best-selling novel (which was controversial for its take on the Japanese invasion of American business in the early '90s). Kaufman ultimately won, doing an above-average job creating a murder mystery based on the culture clash between Los Angeles cops and Japanese multinational business interests. When a prostitute is murdered at the opening of a new L.A. headquarters for a Japanese company, detective Wesley Snipes is forced to call upon retired cop (and Japanophile) Sean Connery to help solve the murder. But he runs into obstruction from the Japanese, as well as a high-tech cover-up, while having to deal with anti-Japanese sentiments from people on his own team. Intriguing if overlong. --Marshall Fine
Description
A Los Angeles special liaison officer (Wesley Snipes) is called in to investigate the murder of a call-girl in the boardroom of a Japanese corporation. Accompanied by a detective with unusual knowledge of the Japanese culture (Sean Connery), the two men must unravel the mystery behind the murder by entering an underground "shadow world" of futuristic technology, ancient ways and confusing loyalties.

                    Description

                    Inayan Sinawali is a double stick style of training in the filipino martial arts. It uses different striking patterns to develop proficiency with double weapons. Often noted for its fast "weaving" (hence the name Sinawali) of striking patterns when the students interact with each other, this is one of the most fun and easy to learn of the filipino martial arts. Easy to learn but difficult to master. In this tape the standard Inayan Sinawali Drills 2 - count through to 9 - count will be demonstrated. The offside 5 - and 7 - count Sinawalis will be shown along with basic loading (chambering) positions. Sinawali helps to develop eye-hand coordination, timing, footwork, rhythm, focus, sensitivity, fluidity, concentration and hand/wrist flexibility. To further understand the style of Sinawali the following concepts will be demonstrated and explained: matching, mirror, redondo, reverse redondo, complementary, transposing, chasing, chaining and mirror chaining. 56 minutes

                      Description

                      This is the best production ever of Aikido masters demonstrating ever put together in one tape. You will see the master himself demonstrate and then you will see his seniors all performing at their very best some in color some in B/W.

                      Names like Gozo Shioda, Koichi Tohei, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Morihiro Saito, Master Ueshiba and several more of Aikido's top masters all show you there skills.

                      Some of the footage is in full color while others of it dates back to the 1930's so it is in B/W but it to is in very high quality.

                      You will see body techniques, sword techniques defence and Offensive, Tanto defence, jo offense and defence techniques one on one and multiple attackers plus just so much more it is incredible.

                      Much of this footage was lost until very recently and has never been available until mid 2004 so it has most likely not been seen before.

                      These are the men who Aikido owes its creation to.
