2.0 out of 5 stars Too quick & not effectively translated, 26 Sep 2000
By A Customer
The video was worth watching altohugh I did expect it to be more of a training video which it was not. Some of the camera use was a bit amatuer and left out the important aspects of the techniques. This is one for the promotion shelf rather than for the experienced or budding martial artist looking for added instruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shorinji Kempo Video, 10 Jul 2006
By Anthony Kehoe "kimpatsu" (Tokyo) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This video is a perfect introduction to the layperson who has no idea what Shorinji Kempo is. The video is not, and was never intended to be, an instructional video, and camera angles are deliberately calculated to conceal execution from the gung-ho idiot who would rather practice at home than join a proper, licensed dojo. The commentary gives excellent descriptions of the history and nature of Shorinji Kempo, and shows the British chief instructor, Tameo Mizuno Sensei, in action, as well as descriptions and explanations of goho, juho, howa, kata, and embu. Well worth the outlay for anyone curious about this popular Japanese art.
