The GOOD Video Thread - No off topic posts allowed

Anyone got a clip of the old quest Gyokko Ryu vid? That's good IIRC

What I like:
Hatsumi seems to be having fun.
Interesting principles laid out by him.
Also, some americans who show their techniques are pretty good (those who don't have the belly of a whale).

 

Sensei's. opening line ( paraphrased) "I first came here 21 yrs ago, time passes fast, but those I see here haven't changed"
Passed off as a compliment, but did he really mean skill?

 

I enjoy Wright Shihan's bojutsu here.

is this somehow related to the kaminaga shigemi koto ryu demo? same venue, same shaky camera handling.

when and where was this filmed? was there a joint embu by the kaminaga group and the genbukan? just curious.

 

This and the Koto ryu clip are from an embu taikai commemorating the twentieth anniversary of Ueno Takashi's passing. The Genbukan group showed some fascinating things with wonderful skills.

 

Perhaps. Did you thought skill was lacking with most of the participants?
I thought a disproportionate amount of the 10th dans were out of shape, which I consider to be unforgivable. However, that young guy with the brown ponytail was pretty good!
(I don't mean RVD, I mean the guy in the black t-shirt.)

This one? It's only a few minutes unfortunately...

 

Yup that's the kiddy. Though I'm wondering if this is a re-make as that start is unfamiliar...

Can't see much in that intro though

 

I liked the quality in production of the Quest videos

 

Some good ( jack) some bad (Ed) looked a good taikia though 20+ yrs ago?

 

Who is Jack?

 

Jack Hoban

 

Since it's obviously a pretty long video, could you provide the specific times of the examples where you thought they were pretty good?

 

Well...it's the weekend

Here is a great video of monumental....something

Reminds me of some sort of Monty Python sketch. May it brighten your day

I give you Titus!

Just bizarre.

I wonder if his next video will be of him chopping down the tallest tree in the forest withhhhh....a herring?

Ni

 

The few issues I had with these weren't enough to make them bad. If he keeps putting out stuff like this, :banana:

I thought it was great! Not many white belts move like that!

 

Here is a great short video of Hatsumi sensei showing some aspects of Kasumi Dori, from Takagi Yoshin Ryu:

HI Big Will,

Very nice video of Hatsummi, one of the better ones I have seen. Also one of the few ones I have seen him demonstrating Takagi Ryu.

Kind Regards,

Troy

 

Yup, it's a good one, and sensei actually looks like he's teaching, rather than just demonstrating.
