1 out of 5 stars Boring and uninformative.......2006-01-27

Too bad there is nothing lower than a 1 to rate this. Poorly shot, poorly produced, no logical sequence, no historical significance. Absolutely the greatest waste of time ever made.

5 out of 5 stars The first 100 years of Judo.......2005-11-22

The first 100 years of Judo is a great and very historical DVD to own for just it's rare footage of Judo. The explaination and breakdown of the history of Judo is very interesting and gives you more of an understanding of this art.

1 out of 5 stars possibly the worse judo film available.......2004-11-29

This is with out doubt the worse judo film it has ever been my misfortune to own. It claims Kano is shown performing kata, this is correct but the entire time Kano is seen on this footage is no more than 30 to 40 seconds. The rest of the video is taken up with still shots of recycled photographs and lousy video. Take my advice and give this one a wide berth.
