DAN INOSANTO COLLECTION Bruce Lee's TAO of JEET KUNE

[bassivity]

He said Burus Lee, haha

[legacytm7]

Don't forget about the scores of MMA, Vale Tudo, and UFC fighters who have studied under Sifu Dan Inosanto or instructors certified by him.

[nicolelacson1]

To all JKD enthusiasts, of course JKD works. If you meet a burglar or a thug in the street, JKD will definitely work. To all UFC lovers, of course JKD doesn't work. Not in the Octagon against a professional MMA fighter. JKD works only in real life. To beat a professional MMA fighter, all I need is about ten or so armed fighters skilled in their weapon of choice, and we'll beat the crap out of him.

[abdoulshmit]

All m "m" a fighters and fans have to respect all "martials" arts!

[bassivity]

@abdoulshmit they don't respect that because they never took any traditional martial arts, they just went straight to mma and from what I see they don't teach them to be humble and respectful of others.

[gekiryudojo]

lol! JKD in Japanese! well that is different! but is it JKD or Kali?

[illektron]

oh...and Jeet Kune do is not an art its a philosophy...there is the tao of chinese gung fu and jun fan gung fu. taky kimura is the highest certified instructor above dan inosanto. with all do respect guro..

[illektron]

there is martial sport martial science and martial art. All of which encompass pathways of different martial realms...some by regulation, by realism and cultural expression. A lot of people get these confused when playing the "what if" and go through 48 sequences off a posed straight arm. Some people often pride themselves by what they have in mind is "right". The idea is, there is no way. It is all cultivation of the self and growing as an individual through a serious of perspired realizations

[superstar1218]

sir,can you elaborate on your comment?

[Xieerqi]

Those disrespecting other martial artists most likely have no clue about martial arts, or remain on mediocre level of a high-school bully's mentality. Truly great and accomplished martial artists do not go around yelling “I can bean whoever I want” and do not disrespect other fighters. Please keep your opinions to yourself, and show some respect to Inosanto and Lee, who spend YEARS in martial arts

[nofd1977]

Put it too yall like this, if you have a fit-talented MMA guy vs a fit-talented JKD guy on the street, the JKD guy will prevail. In the ring might be a different story.

[foxybrown2]

Danny was good before he met Bruce.He was a master at Kali Escrima and other Filipino Art forms he taught Bruce a lot of things

[EMR80]

I'm going say I taken classes on Jeet kune do MMA is a sport Jeet kune do is for street fighters pure street fighters. There are moves I can do in Jeet kune do such as a finger, Jab, stomp to the ear, step on a person feet so they can't run a way. Most MMA fighters don't have the fundamentals of foot work they just pound to the ground.

[XF108FINALE]

To be honest, I will not use BJJ or even wrestling if I'm fighting on the street for two reasons. First, when you do take downs on a solid surface there is a good chance that you will injure yourself. Second, if you're fighting more than one opponent, even if you manage to take one down, the others will definitely catch you off guard. So in situations out of the ring, I will pick Muay Thai, Boxing, TKD, Karate and Kung Fu for self defense since it'll give me more chance of saving myself.

[illektron]

life never asked for preference. Were all different in size, weight, muscular tone, cardio endurance, flexibility, being coordinated, eye to hand reaction..to say you can prepare yourself for a fight is silly. Although you can most certainly train attributes to develop a highly functional, intuitive, physically adaptive individual.

[superstar1218]

if you argue about if its this or that discard it.

[superstar1218]

who the fuck are you to say wrong? the only one that can tell me im wrong is bruce lee himself. why do they(jkd fighters look the same?you mean to tell me a 75 year old woman can intercept a tech? but she can use a cranes beak and poke your eye out!by the way five animal kung fu is listed as one of the arts that bruce use to develope his style. why doesnt anyone talk about that. because they dont know the 27 arts he use to make HIS PERSONAL STYLE. to quote bruce lee its just a name.

[xbloodgoatx]

@superstar1218 wow umm how about abandon tradition.

[ScottandGuitar5150]

For the ufc guys and mma lovers this stuff is not designed for the ring more or less this is for the street because like all jkd practioners we dont believe in rules, especially ring side rules.

[paulbuss]

@ScottandGuitar5150 exactly....

[COURTCHLOE]

yhea but if you think about it really is bruce lee the true founder of mixed martial arts

martial arts has come such a long way because of one man ...

[KayTeamLegit]

Yep... Dan is good. One of Bruce Lee's top student. The chosen one by Bruce Lee to continue JKD.

[TheKodesai]

Lol, MMA is a sport. nothing more! And its a joke at that.

[noformstyle]

DAN was one of the best instructor I ever train with. Highly recommend this guy.

[superstar1218]

bruce lee would be pissed at all of jkd instructors because it can be caled a style it was a concept when he was alive and intercepting fist was just a translation of one concept and the world took that and ran with it.wu-wei is how it should be referred to that means spantaneous action.drawing from many arts and situations on how you would deal with an attack.

[HafuRyuu]

@superstar1218

Wrong!

To say JKD was just a concept or concepts is to say Bruce had nothing more then thoughts, and on top of that JKD is not a MMA its not a mix of a bunch of arts...

JKD is and has VERY specific techniques and is more then just concepts.. People today have seriously gotten what JKD is all mixed up, "JKD" is one thing and "JKD Concepts" is another, MMA again is something entirely different...

[roseau84]

An inspiration!!!

[tybros]

Call me crazy, but... Didn't Bruce Lee speak of formlessness? It seems to me that even his martial art ideals have been moved from the formless to being a form. And MMA, to me, is as big a farce as one can find in the martial arts world today, especially since the practicality of almost all MMA arts will do very little to help you in an actually street fight. The rule of thumb on the street, if you are on the ground for more than 20 seconds, you're dead.

[jackylin24]

@tybros you are speaking about the ground fighting aspect of MMA, BJJ and Judo. There is a lot more to MMA than BJJ, thats why they call it MMA now. Striking is very much apart of MMA just as BJJ is.

[HafuRyuu]

@tybros

Bruce did talk about being formless, but he didnt mean to have no style at all, he meant that a person shouldnt be trapped by any specific style, only having one way to do something, instead a person should be free from style and should understand the most efficient method that works with the individual's body type..

JKD has very specific techniques and so on that are all based on science of the human body. As for being on the ground in a street fight, yes it is the last place to be!

[ComputerIlliterit]

Bruce Lee never did a fighting stance with both feet on the ground, someone can come along and just push you over. Lee was so damn fast though he could hit someone many times before they could even counter him, so speed helps obviously. Dan Inosanto is amazing though, especially with the stick fighting.

[GaolisVideoLog]

What is it with you westerners... no, you Americans mainly, and your insulting Asian fighting schools? If you don't like 'em, you don't like 'em. No one's forcing you to like 'em anyay. BUT show some courtesy and respect for other people, please.

[Capzy]

Dan and Paul have done a fuckin awesomely colossal job carrying on JKD, Bruce is smilin, I bet you!

[iliketheodds]

Perhaps Dan Inosanto wouldn't do well in MMA...he wasn't trained for that. but he'll definitely know how to respond to someone with a weapon unlike them MMA guys.

You see, real street fighting usually involves weapons, and there are no referees.

[EMR80]

I met . Rick Faye and he is the real deal so Dan Inosanto is the truth man. I respect Dan for persevering jkd. Dan's evolved his personal expression of jkd so its may not be the same as Bruces. I'm sure if Bruce was alive Bruce might have added some Capoia movements to JKD.

[Mider999]

@EMR80 There is a guy in Austin named Ray Parra he supposidly is a full instructor under Dan Inosanto in JKD, FMA, Muay Thai as well as MMA I think. Ive searched Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje's Sight he's also listed as a teacher of Leo Gaje's Form of Kali which is Pekiti Tirsia Kali. He has joint school in another Area the Co owner is a Guru in Serak under Pac Victor De Thours AND the school has a teacher in Dog Brothers Martial Arts i would LOVE to ask Dan Inosanto about Ray Parra.

[Dungarth]

@EMR80 ..Bruce would not have been into Capoeira, Bruce was keen on speed, power and simplicty..he was not keen on flying around and jumping around. Remember Bruce always always trained with the mind of being the best real-life no rules fighter..he wasn't interested in the sport side of things or the fancy side of things. In real life you can be the best Muay Thai boxer in the world or the best BJJ grappler but it will still hurt to get a fast finger jab in the eyes or throat.

[amoreden1]

SIFU DAN

IS A MASTER

I MEAN COMMON PEOPLE 19 DIFFERENT MARTIAL ART STYLES

BEEN DOING MARTIAL ARTS AND NOT ANY OTHER JOB SINCE

IF HE NEEDS BRUCE OR ANY OTHER MASTER TO RENDER HIM A MASTER

WE WILL HAVE MISSED THE BOAT

MASTER DAN INOSANTO LETS GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE WAY BEFORE WE HAVE TO PUT IT ON HIS TOMB STONE

BASICALLY HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE STUDIED WITH HIM OVER THE YEARS....

HOPEFULLY HE DOES HIS OWN CONCEPT JUST LIKE JKD OR MAYBE AN EXTENTION OF IT, (JKD II.)

[XiaoLinLong]

Sifu Dan Inosanto's most well-known students would have to be Erik Paulson, Rick Tucci, Burton Richardson, Paul Vunak, Greg Nelson, Yorinaga Nakamura, and Rick Faye.

Can anybody help me in naming more? lol

[Mider999]

@XiaoLinLong Marc Crafty Dog Denny

[aceloco1]

dan inosanto wouldnt take out a ufc fighter he would kill them ! big difference to fighting with rules and fighting with true martial deadly arts !

[akira60ful]

It's just "Jun Fan kung fu", not jeet kung do.

[akira60ful]

It's just "Jun Fan kung fu", not jeet kung do.

[djreadyred]

Dan Inosanto was Bruce Lee's # 1 disciple and the only man that Bruce lee said was qualified to teach Jeet Kune Do. Early 60's Jun Fan Kung Fu was a fore runner to Lee's later JKD which does take from Wing Chun Kung Fu!

[MiTcHBSacto]

Liddel said Tyson would win in boxing & He'd win at UFC.

Each athlete trains specificly for a sport.

Street fighting uses other skills, like the art of surprise, improvisation & using the environment. You can't do these in Boxing/UFC/etc...

[MiTcHBSacto]

I hav the Tao of the JKD & 4 little books that come with it. All the pics in it are of Dan Inosanto. These things seem to have Dan's pics and Bruce Lee's wifes name all over them. I think Dan was a training partner?

[justincredible418]

whats kareem abdul jabbar doing there

[42lynchmob]

@justincredible418 he was a student of bruces

[FomaYas]

@justincredible418 He was a student of Lee's. He's also in Game of Death as the final combatant.

[Mider999]

I hate you MMA guys and UFC lovers who come on here and talk about how this suff doenst work that stuff doesnt work. Well Dan Inosanto would take you out fast and easy.

[IamHueGraves]

@Mider999 on top of that every mma coach Ive ever met said mma is only a sport and not effective on the streets

[toku222]

@Mider999 is right on

I've never met anybody more loved and respected by his students than Dan Inosanto. He can proficiently teach 19+ different types of martial arts and he is STILL humble and wants to learn more. And his students are Tucci, Young, Balicki, Vunak, Jeff Imada, etc. And these guys are real bad asses. And all of them are extremely honored to have been taught by the living legend himself.

[1fightforright23]

@toku222 Do not forget Mark Mcfan lol he is a real real badass!

[TSanMig]

@Mider999 please don't look at a bunch of trolls on youtube as true representatives of MMA. i train in MMA for sport and JKD for life and do not agree w/ them, neither do most serious and professional fighters. i hope this hasn't spoiled our view or love of martial arts, whether mixed, traditional or contemporary.

[Mider999]

@TSanMig Thats bad ass whats a shame is that being from texas there is not any Full instructors here under Dan Inosanto that i know of only Jon Rister but i think he's only an apprentice instructor. Even the full instructors are mostly in L.A. Ron Balicki does alot of Private training and works mostly with Team Karate Centers, Marc Denny with the Dog Brothers does alot of private work but he's kinda pricey, you can still train with Erik Paulson but i dont know his credentials.

[Mider999]

@Mider999 Vunak gives apprentice instructorships for ten hours working with him i just dont know about that im not gonna say nothing bad about him. But i do know that Dan Inosanto makes them weight 3 years to do that. OCkickboxing has a full instructor but they have not so perfect reviews. Rick Faye is a SENIOR instructor one of the few under Dan Inosanto but he's all the way in Minnesota. he teaches JKD, FMA, CSW, Muay Thai and is one of the only people who teache Maphalindo silat.

[brucew22]

@Mider999 OCkickboxing is ran by Sifu Dan Sullivan. He is one of the best out there, and is highly recommended by Sifu Inosanto.

[carbonlaminate]

@Mider999 No he wouldn't. You know why? He's not an 11 year old boy who has something to prove. Going meta for a moment, it is you all who have a problem, no Inosanto. He doesn't need you to fight any battles for him. There ARE no battles, just what you perpetuate in cyberspace. For the record, Inosanto was trained as muay thai fighter (in his early 40s no less) and has a black belt in BJJ. Sounds like MMA to me. Inosanto LIKES MMA and the UFC. So quit making false dichotomies with phantoms

[Mider999]

@carbonlaminate Im not 11 so i dont know what your talking about. And last time I saw Inosanto talk in front of anyone I never heard him insult other systems like MMA fighters who insult every other system except MMA. Alot of MMA fighters insult aikido, JKD, FMA etc etc thats the point of the statements. You dont even know what anyones talking about mate.

[jackylin24]

@Mider999 Actually those MMA fighters who insult tradtional arts aren't that much of martial artists anyways. They will never become champions in their sport. You will never see an true martial artist like GSP, Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Lyoto Machida bad mouthing any forms. And there is a reason for that.

[minasz]

@Mider999 Well I fight in MMA (cage) and train JKD. And I can say all techniques you practice and fit you, use them and they work. JKD is for the street, but you also can step in the MMA sports. Also you have Ben Saunders UFC fighter who is a JKD fighter. Offcourse you R not undefeatable..but who is?

[KiCreativeStudio]

@Mider999 I'm not fan of ANY of you overzealous children who fill the net with negativity and this, "My martial arts teacher is better than your martial arts teacher."

All of you, grow up. Please.

[xbloodgoatx]

@Mider999 i remember back in the day UFC old UFC was supper supportive of JKD but MMA got but hurt cause they lost the respect of JKD when they added more rules and started crying that they according to them were the same as JKD all cause some block head got the tao of JKD read to them and got confused lol the fact is most MMA don't realize that JKD has GJJ which was the best thing to ever hit UFC along with any effective straight line attack other arts provide and cant except us as ultimate

[MrJumpmanJunior]

@Mider999 I totally agree with your comment about those complaining about what doesn't work. And those comments miss the whole point of JKD. JKD recognizes that not all techniques will work for all people in all situations. You have to find what works for you and be smart about how you apply those techniques given your immediate circumstances. The point is to get you to think about what you are doing rather than following rote forms and to incorporate the best of what works for you.

[pachinkuro08]

wow dan punches like pacquiao!

[Mider999]

He's probably faster then most men in there 20's

[1fightforright23]

@Mider999 Yes I remember when I was 20 years of age. I went to my first Dan Inosanto seminar. He damonstrated a move, he was so quick that I had to ask him to do it on me. "Grab me" he said and pointed to his neck I did. next thing I knew my hand was off his neck and his hand was on my neck! I was more confused than before! He was 70 years of age!

[Ben1987X]

@Mider999 Im pritty fast...in the bed HA!

[yadomaster]

Very good

[hellowsaw]

fuck that japanese translation

[SouthernSerpent]

He was just a man, why regard Bruce Lee as anything else.

It is sad that he is a way of just making coin for anyone who trained with him, the make videos & write books... would he approve?!

[carbonlaminate]

@SouthernSerpent I don't understand your point. "He was just a man"

[SouthernSerpent]

@carbonlaminate - I respect who he was and what he was capable of physically but he was just a man.

He was far from perfect and I genuinely think he would be entertained by the pedestal he has been placed upon in death.

Can you not see that he is just a way for people who have trained briefly with him, to line their pockets with silver?

& to others he is like a destination to visit so people can buy a souvenir, books, t-shirts

Like I said, he was just a man.

[carbonlaminate]

Mmm. I guess. That's like saying Steve Vai is just a man. Sure he is. So what? He's very accomplished with what he does. Should we ignore Vai's or Lee's virtuosity?

Bruce Lee was very accomplished. People talk about MMA predating Jun Fan/JKD. Sure, fine. No one is talking about them. Who gives a shit about ancient pankration?

What Lee did opened up the door for a lot of people to look beyond classical systems.

As far as people cashing in on his name, I hope you aren't referring to Inosanto

[SouthernSerpent]

@carbonlaminate - No its not the same. Did you read my comment?

Yes who gives a shit?

Yes Bruce Lee did but racial equality was imminent & mixed systems would have happened anyway.

Where did I mention Inosanto?

[carbonlaminate]

Where did you mention Inosanto... hmm... the context is a video about Dan Inosanto, genius.

Mixed systems would have happened anyways... The Sistine Chapel would have happened anyways. The polio vaccine would have happened anyways. Manned space flight would have happened anyways.

You're a blockhead, dude. I'm done talking to you.

[SouthernSerpent]

@carbonlaminate - I'm not a blockhead, I'm not a 'dude', we didnt talk but as written confrontations go you win, kinda.

[tjprodigy]

I like the way you got ur point across in this video. I always run into problems when I suggest that the world of MMA as the public knows it would not be where it is today was it not for the influence on the world created by Bruce Lee.

That sends them into a raging riot.

[carbonlaminate]

Hey thanks. On a side note, I realize I've been posting a lot here, and not practicing. Going forward, Lee is a great model for a fighter/martial artist.

[corndog125nalald]

Wile people keep giving this comment thumbs down. Bruce did close his schools because he did not want people saying Jeet Kune Do is this or that. Once you start saying that your missing the point. One of the latter things Bruce wrote down was 'I wish i never gave Jeet Kune Do a Name' that says alot about how JKD was diferent then Jun Fan JKD

[Mider999]

@corndog125nalald Well Dan says you need Wing Chun and Jun Fan to learn JKD because thats part of Bruce Lee's JKD. But if someone was to learn Judo, Aikido, Hapkido or whatever and it worked for them then that would be THERE JKD but i wouldnt be Bruce Lee's

[bayyagg]

wut is much better? Jeet Kune Do or Hap Kee Do?

[corndog125nalald]

well JKD would say ' is Hap kee Do is better, then we will use it in JKD, there for Hap Kee Do becomes a part of JKD' one of the cores of JKD is to take what is useful and disregard what is usless, then adapt those things to your self

[rentatrip1]

BLOOSE Lee -?

I thought there was an "R" somewhere in the man's first name ?

BLOOSE ?

[profeso07]

5 stars

[clearcombat]

How about this. Learn boxing from offense to defense for two years. Then learn judo for two years with a ton of sparring. Then kickboxing. Then learn wrestling and how to shoot in for takedowns. Now who is going to beat you in the street. Only a very well trained fighter.

JKD was great for Bruce, but how many people can fight like him... Very few

clear combat fighting system

[tjprodigy]

@clearcombat

I wish I could just find a place that taught combat in all areas of range without the BS and traditional stuff that comes with learning a bunch of individual arts. The thing that I understand about JKD is that my JKD will most likely be different to yours coz we are all different. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. A tall guy won't be able to use many Judo techs against a shorter guy. Someone with bad knees might not be able to kick as well as some1 who has ok knees, etc

[matsuojudo]

That is kind of funny i been thrown by big guys for years now lol

[tjprodigy]

lol, so have I...

my point goes "whoooosh" right over your head.

[matsuojudo]

"A tall guy won't be able to use many Judo techs against a shorter guy"

Many of the Judo Techniques can be used for short and tall people.=)

Please feel free to show a video of what your talking if you like lol

[tjprodigy]

How is me putting up a link to a video going to prove anything? You know it doesn't mean shit. You don't have to act like a little judo baby because I said something that made you cry about your chosen art. Geez it's even in your name.

Yeah many techniques can be used by tall, short, skinny, or fat people. Whatever. But you are telling me that it is easy for a tall guy to use one of the MANY kinds of throws in Judo/Ju-Jitsu where you need to get ur centre of gravity bellow the opponent?

[matsuojudo]

Lol, Im sorry did i strike a nerve? Just wanted to get you to see my point of view, and it seems like you did=).

To answer your question, posting videos are always good thing, I would be more than happy to post a video if it help you see what judo has to offer =)

[tjprodigy]

No man, no need, I study Judo on the side with my JJ instructor.

Let me put it to you this way...

Is it easier for a shorter guy to use SOME of the throws on an opponent taller than him? As opposed to the other way around? answer honestly.

Also, imagine this..

There's 2 guys side by side. One is tall, one is short. There is a target 2 metres away from each of them. Now these guys have equal speed/skill. Now they both have to move forward and kick the target as quick as poss.. cont

[tjprodigy]

Now realistically, the taller guy should be able to reach the target quicker. Because he is taller and has greater reach right?

Why is so hard to say that applies with certain techniques in Judo?

I am not a Judo hater by any means and you don't have to defend it. I was just using it as an example to get my point across. I think every art has its place.

Now Kano could throw sumo's around right? But do you think the same sumo could use the same throw son him? with him being so little??

[DANTHETUBEMAN]

i see dan put a slap pak in his lop sao. h eis so fluid with his demoes, i really like to watch him teach. i saw a old askeama tape of his and he is so polished in his presentation and demoes.

[schaelakhan]

Jeet kune do is the Philosophy no way as a way(the thinking) Jun Fan is the style(the Way the method)

[MrCyemon]

it is the same..jeet kune do is the new name after jun fan gung fu..

[gohan4585]

What? I believe Jun Fan (B.Lee's chinese name) Gung Fu was more a style & Jeet Kune Do was not. Trapping?

I didn't see R.Balicki use any trapping in his fight videos & I don't see any trapping MMA fights either. Educate One-self.

[triancirc]

If you keep saying that trapping won't work for you then it never will.. However there are some guys who used it against Boxing and it worked fine as long as it was used when the time was right for it.. It is enough to say that Bruce Lee believed that trapping works!! If i were in your place i would look into why trapping doesn't work for me or for the people who failed using it and try to eliminate these weaknesses..

PS: Please don't say the weakness is trapping itself! lol

[chineseeyes2006]

I agree triancirc in wing chun is the only 1 that teaches trapping besides jkd.Many other styles even do chi sao and dont even do it right at all.you must develop sensitivety in the forearms to be able to trap good it require timing and skill.I pratice shaolin 7 star mantis and shaolin hung fa yi wing chun and other arts for over 30yrs and teach.I've seen many artist who misunderstand what trapping is all aout.trapping would destroy 1 plan of attack by simplty trapping hitting 4 every trap hit

[Rapist87]

Didn't Bruce Lee himself eventually abandon trapping as he moved further away from Wing Chun? I'm not JKD don't claim to be but I've trained most of my life and always read up on other styles. I'm sure I heard that somewhere

[tjprodigy]

@Rapist87

I heard that he didn't empasize it as much as the time went on. I don't think he totally abandoned the idea of trapping hands and all that. In one of the JKD vids I've seen Dan Inosanto said that Bruce would often bridge the gap when sparring you, strike, then enter trapping hands, then maybe enter into some JJ techniques and take you down with a wrist lock or similar, or do his damage and then enter into a boxing mode. I've got the vid at home some where in my stack of BL dvds.

[odin2358]

Trapping is harder with gloves... Duh.

[shlokda]

Read balicki's book "jeet kune do: principles of a complete fighteR" , there's an entire section on trapping and kali. Also MMA is sport fighting not street fighting, so they dont use trapping. Trapping's more useful vs street guys who arent trained in martial arts.

[chineseeyes2006]

yes indeed gohan4585 Many people dont understand what trapping is all about it takes skill to trap.You know what mma didnt come until ufc came on tv then all of a sudden we got mma.When you really look at these guys they dsont even show good techniques at all it looks more like brawling.trapping would destroy a person because after every trap comes a hit.wing chun display that in fighting rollingf arms it has 3 different chi sao drills.Many peope claim to know how to trap hand but dont u r right

[youguysallset]

trapping comes in many forms. and usage varies depending on the opponents attack. clearly u dont know how trapping works. stop commenting on videos you have no knowledge of.

[glovemtb]

Week, this is not an instruction video. Dan would not like this.

[DaVinsanity]

Is this a DVD? If it is can anyone tell me the title of it.

[ommozy]

I LOVE Bruce lee. Excellent clip

[gagiandjeo]

Awesome! 5 *****

gagi

[renoboy666]

Excellent clip. I'd love to know how to get a copy of this instructional series (obviously made for the Japanese market)...
