Product Description

Product Description

First time on DVD, totally narrated in English, this unedited black and white volume set is an important part of the Kodokan archives, and a MUST for all grappling enthusiasts! This is part of a three volume set. This rare footage contains master technician, Kyuzo Mifune, who for many years was a permanent member of the Kodokan Consultative Group. Mifune received his 10th dan in 1945 and the speed with which he mastered the techniques of Judo can only be matched by the rapidity of his promotion through the dan ranks. This three part series shows Mifune both in the dojo, as well as spending some time in his garden. Key Words: Judo, Mifune, Japanese Martial Arts.

Review

Mifune - probably the greastest Judoka ever! Do not miss this DVD -- FightingSpirit.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Kodokan Judo with Kyuzo Mifune
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2004

This DVD contains footage the last 10th dan ever. The footage is about 2 hours long and all of this footage is of Mifune himself, he is seen taking a class, of adults and children, demonstrating all the major throws (gokyo). Mifune himself performing Kata which include the Shinken Shobu no Kata (Kime no Kata), the Itsitsu no Kata (Five Forms) and the Kodokan Goshin Jutsu. Mifune is also seen supervising students performing the Nage no Kata, he then takes part in a randori session with students of about 4th dan and above. This DVD is in my opinion a must for any serious Judoka, the footage is in black and white throughout with a slightly out of synch commentary, but this in no way detracts from the high quality content. A definite must have for any serious Judo collector or enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stunning
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2010

"Kodokan Judo" is a must have video for any martial artist who is interested in seeing flawless technique. I have over thirty years of training as a martial artist and I have never seen a finer example of technical skill as Kyuzo Mifune sensei. While this is a film on judo, any martial artist who is interested in throwing or grappling will find this an invaluable resource. The film quality of this video is not up to today's standards, having been filmed in black and white, and is at times a bit grainy. However, the material as it is presented exceeds greatly most of what passes for judo today. I strongly recommend this video to all judoka, aikidoka, and any one else who needs a better understanding of the throwing and grappling arts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable

A brilliant video of a master judo player. I have never seen, in person, a person with this level of skill. He's 70+ years old on the video and he's tossing guys around like rag dolls. As best as I can tell, they were really trying to throw Mifune, though unsuccessful. The quality isn't the best, but it was good enough for me. Anyone who is interested in judo, jiu-jitsu or bjj would benefit a great deal from this tape. (Though much of the groundfighting is old news for pure bjj practitioners.)

Do not purchase unless £33 is an acceptable price to pay for an illegal copy, (unless rising sun productions produce their products on DVD-R 4 speed discs with printed labels and case covers). I will know the answer after making contact with them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware...
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2005

Be prepared to be slightly disappointed with the quality of the images on this video. As an addition to one's judo video library, and as an historical record of Mifune-sensei in action, this is probably worth having if for no other reason than to have the opportunity to see Mifune move. However, I again caution you that the quality of the old B&W footage is poor at best. In addition, my copy took 6 or 7 weeks to arrive it was advertised as being readily available. So, buyer beware.

A must have for any serious Judo student. You can see how masterful a technician a tenth dan is. This tape also slows down enough for the viewer to learn from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real unique master of Judo
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2005
Literally I can only subscribe the things Mr. Jones formerly wrote in his comment. This DVD is a great opportunity to see, what perfect skill is worthwhile in Judo. Today there are 2 judokas alive holding a 10th dan ranking, but outside Japan. Within the small circle of 10th dan holders in judo's history, Mifune Sensei was the one, who influenced Judo the most. I also recommend Mifune Sensei's new edition of his book 'Canon of Judo'- a must-have for every serious judoka.
