Nice find.
Carol's insight is probably correct in regard to the violation of applicable laws. I would trust to Mr Bishop to have some insight as to whether his posting or the original posting is in some violation considering his background in law enforcement.
You can look at it 2 ways.
1. The clips have some historic value.
or 2. They just show infighting between different factions.
I prefer to look at the historical value of these clips. You are being privy to training discussions between 2 of the men who had close contact with James Mitose in the 70's. You can look at it in a positive way, or negative way.
What a treasure it would be to have taped conversations between men like Funakoshi, Kano, Itosu, Motobu, Chow, Emperado, etc.
In the past Mitose has been described as a "enigma wrapped in mystery". These conversations give you a little insight into the man and his teachings that has not been repackaged for magazine or book use.
As to the legalities of the audio tapes, that's between Hassan, Jucknik, and You Tube. If they were recorded illegally, the statute of limitations has probably run years ago. But I would not automatically assume that these men did not make it known to each other that they would be taking notes, or recording their discussions.

BJ's position was that he and Mitose didn't do much physical training, that it was mostly priciple and theory. Yet he was unable to discuss any of these things with NH. Curious...

"much?" You mean "any" right? My guess is that nobody taught anybody, but what does it matter? Lots of people taught by prominent names who suck, and a bunch of "nobody's" that are really smoking. It's all relative, and gets straightened out on the floor. The good creds of your teacher don't automatically fall to you. A person's creds begins and ends with them, good or bad.![]()
I guess that opens up the question of where BJ learned his material. I have heard several people comment on his skill level.
Wasn't he a Tracy guy at some point?
Who cares? The entire Mitose fact or fiction, truth or myth has been done to death. The man's dead & gone. Let it rest.
Actually, it was put to rest on 12-9-08.
