Review of Classic Judo Kata.
This is a great video. Good narration and content.

Mildly disappointing
Not really what I was looking for. More of a historical dvd than an instructional one. Did get a bunch of history from it.

error in reviews.
The two previous 'reviews' seem to be for some other production. I haven't seen the dvd but saw this movie in the late 70's, one of the best from that period as I recall. Also, there are apparently packages out there that have a different movie inside.
