Featuring Master Hirokazu Kanazawa. In this in-depth interview that lasted for three hours – we had to edit it down – there are questions and answers that everyone will want to know the answer to. Like where did Ni Ju Hachi Ho actually come from, why did he do Tai Chi and Goju Katas? What value were these to his learning? What was the JKA Instructor training program actually like? We asked him words like Oyama, Nishiyama, JKA, Yamaguchi, Funakoshi and many more, and he gave us an instant answer without knowing what words were coming. Very insightful. He talks in length about the first karate tournament and why he fought with a broken right hand and how he won the fights as he walks us through the actual fight step by step. Don Warrener, who is becoming well known for his tough questions, threw the book at Kancho and he fielded the questions in the true spirit of karate, answering everything and ducking nothing. If you have ever wanted to hear all the stories of the early days when he would pick up Gichin Funakoshi in a taxi and take him to the dojo, and how Funakoshi – whenever he would pass the Kodokan – would order the taxi to stop so he could bow ‘to the house Jigaro Kano built’ and lots more, this is the DVD for you.

Plus you will see many of those outtakes that usually end up on the editing room floor... but, we have saved them all and have them here. It is truly entertaining and shows Kancho as a human being like the rest of us who make mistakes and can laugh at himself.
