Part of a eight part series documentary on the Martial Arts of south and south east Asia, originally broadcast on the BBC in the early 1980s. This episode follows the history and development of Aikido, Kendo and some Naginata and explains why they took the sporting path and yet still maintain their spirituality. Part 4 of 4 parts.

  • LOL About as Sophisticated as a Fucking house Brick.

    its alright if you wanted to learn how to hit someone on the head with a stick: XD

  • @Akab6 Both the Kendo and the Samurai videos were brilliant! Thanx so much for the upload!

    As a former traditional (Aikikai) Aikidoka i didn't mind the long aikido part, because i think all these arts are related in some way or another.

  • @00RV00

    100 % Agree

    But it is also the better part of this episode.

  • @dragonshit2001 What do you mean?

  • @Akab6

    The Samurai video is about Katori Shinto Ryu. It also includes Iai-jutsu but its an old complete system which also have Ken-jutsu,Naginata,Yari, Wakasashi and Tai-jutsu.

    Calling it "Iaido stuff" mean heavily underrating it!

  • its soooo true.

    i was the same way....kendo helped me

    become a better person altogether.

  • this is a very powerful documentary. definitely changed my views of kendo. thanks for the upload. im going to have a look at the different series.

  • Probably the most meaningful Kendo video I have seen along with the Eiga documentary, this 7 minutes are important...
