Good X-Kan Video Clips......

[Brian R. VanCise]

I thought I would start a thread where people could post video clips that they enjoyed from various members of the X-Kans. This is a thread designed to show positive examples that are out there and in no way is the thread geared towards critiquing people in the videos.

I will start posting a few:

Bujinkan with Duncan Stewart

Jinenkan with Adam Mitchell

Genbukan with Shoto Tanemura and Michael Coleman

Please post video clips that you enjoy!

Here is another one. Featuring Duncan Stewart of the Bujinkan

Nice clip Brian. Ia did however note a lot of 'pregnant pauses' which rob him of the flow in his demos, maybe this is an ingrained habit from teaching a lot?
Just mho. I liked the solid budo in the other clip above too!

cheers

Just to point out that if you post a video you like it does not always have to be a super polished video. It could be someone teaching, seminar, etc. Just with good movement from the X-Kans. Some of my favorite videos are from someone teaching. Particularly footage of Shiraishi Sensei and Oguri Sensei. (private footage that I cannot post)

Kotô Ryû with Kacem Zoughari:

A clip with one of Kacem's students, Francesco from Italy:

And here's a gem with Hatsumi sensei from 1990:

My two favorite clips of Hatsumi Sensei are definitely sentimental. They are promos for two dvd's.

The first one is: What is Martial Arts

The second one is: Kobudo No Kihon

Really neither clip can do justice to just how good the dvd's are. The reason I am sentimental to them is that my son was three back when I got them and would watch them with me and yell "Hatsumi Sensei saves the day"! Which was pretty cool as he applied techniques he was watching on me!
