Wado Ryu Karate's Hirinori Otsuka - d

The video footage is never amazing on this dvd, but the partnerworks at the beginning is of good enough quality to see what Ohtsuka is doing and is very nice to see. It shows the advanced footworks and kumite tactics of Wado ryu well. This video is let down by the poor quality of the final section of the video where sections of a number of kata are shown ,but none in very good quality. i would recommend this video for any experienced practictioners of Wado ryu, its lack of basics, good kata sections or explainataions means it is not particlarly suitable for anyone who does not already have a good knowledge of Wado ryu basics and kata

The introduction is terrible. The content that you can actually see is mediocre at best and the end is so poor you can barley see anything. You can see well enough to tell that the Kata are not complete. Probable due to the fact that the cut out portions were even worse...Do not buy this product! Based on this video alone I would never purchase anything from masterline video or risingsunproductions again! Otsuka would not approve!

Another piece of unadulterated garbage from Masterline Productions, poorly produced from multi-generational copies of sub-standard 8mm film created by hand-held cameras. The fact that it is even advertised for sale confirms the saying, wrongly attributed to P. T. Barnum as it happens that, "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute"J.
