I've lived in Japan 12 years & have studied Shorinji Kempo a long time. He makes it sound like it's a cult. It shows a lack of understanding of Japanese culture! The subtitles are often inaccurate. So Doshin studied kung fu from several teachers at Shaolin, not just copied a painting! They have a shrine to him as a part of normal Shinto practice! "Experts not supporting twisting young joints" was a cheap shot! My "Doin-cho" s have been extremely gentle! Very tainted and poorly researched!!
This documentary, if I'm not mistaken is from the 70's. That's close to 20 years before you first went to live in Japan. I know very little of Japan, or East Asia as a whole, but I find this series to bring me much closer to feeling the actual culture than anything N.G can come up with nowadays. What would you recommend?
