BLF Review
Although I really enjoyed seeing the old video of Akamine Sensei performing kata and truly documents the history of his organization I thought the production in particular the interview was not that great. Mr. Lee truly had a vision when he filmed this in the 60's but I wish he had of said which kobudo kata Akamine taught him instead of which weapons he was taught.
