5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best martial arts documentaries out there Feb 15 2005
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Budo: The Art of Killing is a documentary that contains no frills or flash, just a lot of information about many of the modern forms of Japanese martial arts (aikido, judo, kendo, karate as well as some naginata and iaido). While it's not the most entertaining video for the non-practitioner, it is a must have for any serious practitioner of martial arts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic documentary Oct 5 2007
By S J Buck - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This documentary was filmed in the late 1970's, in Japan, and shows off most Japanese martial arts. Many well known martial arts masters are featured including:

Gozo Shioda (Aikido)
Takamiyama (Sumo)
Taizaburo Nakamura (Iaido)
Sadaharu Fujimoto (Karate)
Teruo Hayashi (Okinawa Kobudo)

There are also many other Judo, Kendo, Naginata and Samarai sword masters featured. The film takes place in Dojos and outdoors and shows off some of Japan's natural beauty very well. The film also covers some historical areas and a certain amount of the philosophy behind martial arts. What it shows best of all is the dedication and skill required to become skillful in any of these arts. This is an essential purchase for the enthusiatic martial arts student.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best martial arts documentaries I've ever seen July 21 2003
By Haseeb - Published on Amazon.com
The traditional Jappanese martial arts are discussed in this film. Karate, Judo, Kendo, Naginata, Aikido, Sumo as well as the traditional weapons are featured such as the sword, the nunchaku, the staff, the three section staff and the sai. The sound track and filmography are excellent. I was particularly impressed at how the slow motion footage showed some of the most dynamic throws of Judo.

Athough the traditional Jappanese martial arts are given fair treatment, it focuses on the ideals and philosophy of the Samurai Warrior (Budo).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must See for any Martial Artist Nov 3 2006
By Nomad - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a classic movie from Japan that my martial arts instructor has hauled out on a yearly basis to show his students. After many repetitions, the VHS tape was very worn, so I was really pleased to see this finally available on DVD.

It is rivetting from beginning to end. Beautiful scenery, and video of several true masters of the martial arts in Japan.
