Title: Kendo Japanese Fencing
Review: Depends on what you're looking for. This is a video of a 1961 B&W film, complete with scratches and splices. If you want to learn Kendo, find another video. Gives cursory attention to basic forms; includes some history and philosophy. No slow motion, no bells and whistles. The narration was dubbed in one take, complete with stumbles and mistakes. If you are a collector of martial arts material, it might be worth the money, since this film gives you a chance to see several masters in 4th-8th dans, most of whom have undoubtedly passed away, given that they were elderly when the film was made 40 years ago. Archaic in production and content. I'd send this one back if they'd take it.
