Budo: The Art of Killing | Martial Arts

Teruo Hayashi (Okinawa Kobudo)

There are also many additional Judo, Kendo, Naginata and Samarai sword masters featured. The film takes place in Dojos and outdoors and shows off some of Japan’s natural beauty very well. The film also covers some past areas and a certain amount of the philosophy behind martial arts. What it shows best of all is the dedication and skill required to become skillful in any of these arts. This is an essential buy for the enthusiatic martial arts student.

The habitual Jappanese martial arts are discussed in this film. Karate, Judo, Kendo, Naginata, Aikido, Sumo as well as the habitual weapons are featured such as the sword, the nunchaku, the staff, the three section staff and the sai. The sound track and filmography are brilliant. I was particularly impressed at how the slow motion footage showed some of the most dynamic throws of Judo.

Athough the habitual Jappanese martial arts are agreed honest treatment, it focuses on the ideals and philosophy of the Samurai Warrior (Budo).

This is a classic movie from Japan that my martial arts instructor has hauled out on a yearly basis to show his students. After many repetitions, the VHS tape was very worn, so I was really satisfied to see this finally available on DVD.

It is rivetting from beginning to end. Gorgeous scenery, and video of several right masters of the martial arts in Japan.
