Apparently, the editors of those old PBS specials made in the 70's are still around, because they definetly pulled them out of the works for this. The quality of the disk is revolting. It could very easily have been made on a home computer. The sound quality is sloppy, the narrator is practically useless, and his pronunciation of Japanese words and names is bad. The information could easily have been read from any easily found website. The techinical value of this DVD is not worth thirty dollars. The value of the footage of Ueshiba, on the other hand, is priceless. If you haven't seen him in motion, you will find yourself deeply moved. I would recommend watching this one with the volume muted.
