Hi all,

I enjoy watching karate documentories online and spotted the following on YouTube and thought I'd share it:

I've seen this documentary before and it was one of my most favorite.

Thank you for sharing it with us. I enjoyed it

I've seen this before, Bill is really humble and respectful, the other guy, I never seen anyone so arrogant and full of himself, no respect for anyone! And as far as I am aware, he never won any of his "fights" in the series!

The Fight Quest one is much better. Also Blue Samurai: Karate is a good one

I personally think this kind of shows are out of real value. And give a lot of wrong assumptions to people who haven't themselves trained the specific style. I find it often ridiculous how the two people (on all these shows having the same purpose) are too astonished about everything.. and then at the end it just gives the image they know all about it. It completely misses the actual training, that all those people go through all their lives. Nobody starts to understand any style by watching from TV how someone who has dedicated his whole life for training, break something or do something that looks cool.

But of course these are made to get money (works too), and I admit are entertaining to watch.

Newdesign - I agree entirely.

The show completely misses the point - and is packed full of erroneous information and bunkum!

It's funny that the two guys are always given each a sparkling brand new gi. Unwashed, they're always a full size to big and makes them look like little kids.

History and culture are not my strong points. What was wrong here?

I'm sure there is a lot, being a show made for entertainment as much as information.
