Do you have the original film that this was transferred from? I'm directing a film on Mr. Demura and I would love to be able to use this footage. Thanks

@LFFNBF No, I received my copy from Hoosain Narker, Sensei from So. Africa. I believe that my VHS was a copy of another. I do not know who has the original 8 mm film. But if you search the 1975 Long Beach Tournament you may find some shorter cuts that could be clearer. Sorry.

Excellent, thank you for posting. If only we could go back - forward, to perfecting (polishing) the techniques; no matter the style or study be.

I knew it was Demura (Shito Ryu). We entered one of his compa at the LA Expo and took loadsa medals! I bough his book on Sai way back, maybe 3 decades ago.

It IS Ohtsuka. I saw him in the Uk when he got cut by a sword during a demo @ Crystal Palace (his son fainted!). Higaonna is SO fast on here and its a shame him & Chinen parted ways, they were amazing together & I was privileged 2 train under them. It looked liked Terry O'Neill in action from KUGB. Valera had 1 of my senseis as a ref (Peter Rousseau). I was told it took 2 divisons of the California State police to control the crowd??? Anyhow GREAT footage!

Yes, and it is a very young Fumio Demura doing the opening Kobudo demo. Chinen & Higaonna do a nice demo in a later clip.

A su edad, en éste video, el Maestro de Maestros, Hironori Othsuka, y su hijo Jiro, demuestra lo experto que es en técnicas de Tanto Dori, y Daito Dori, pues antes que karateka, fue experto en Ju Jitsu. Descanse en Paz Maestro Wado Ryu Karate DO. Via Wado.

Who are the two fighters before the last demo?

I think they are Dominique Valera and Antonio Rivera... I think is the infamous figth in which
Valera hit a judge because of the calling of one ippon.... many years after that I saw Toñito Rivera in Monterrey Mexico (but I think he was from Dominican Republic) and I know from some of his classmates that he was never hit from the infuriated Valera who turn to the judge not to Rivera

Yep, that is Otsuka, some of the stuff is from the oyo he did for the Nippon Budokai and then some Wado tanto dori

That sure looks like Kyuzo Mifune at the 2:00 mark. That can't be though if this is supposed to be filmed in 1975. Still looks like him, and moves like him.
