5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!.......2007-01-27

You can really learn alot from this great video!! I highly recommend this dvd!!!

1 out of 5 stars A complete waste of money!.......2005-11-07

If you want to see really high quality footage of the Founder of Wado Ryu Karate performins kata that was filmed by Berkley University (California) in 1965 see Wado Ryu The Way of Peace and Harmony Volumes 1 & 2. Unlike the above, they are professionally produced films from a Southern Californian studio, that you will be proud to own.

5 out of 5 stars Best Original Footage Ever!.......2004-07-14

I don't know where these people found this footage but it was awesome! To see the master at work was a real treat. And the information was beyond belief. Excellent!

4 out of 5 stars I learned a lot........2004-07-07

Just watched it for the first time and WOW! What can I say, except, I really
learned a lot from this DVD. It showed me how to perform every kata exactly
how it should be done.

1 out of 5 stars Pure Junk!!!.......2004-03-03

Unfortunately this DVD is just a rip off.
The video was recorded from VHS tape & poorly formatted.
There are no chapters or any other features that you would expect from a DVD.
I was hoping to supplement my Wado Ryu training with the aid of the examples on this DVD, but there is absolutely nothing to gain from this piece of junk!
For a great series on Wado Ryu that shows the katas in detail, I highly recommend David Deaton's "Wado Ryu Karate" series produced by Panther Productions.
