Hello,
Evidently (http://www.e-budo.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24446) I will miss the big Koryu demonstrations this year in Japan but I was wondering if anyone would recommend the videos of the 39th annual kyoto koryu demonstration (http://tozando.com/eng/video/koryuvideo.html) that Tozando.com sells. My only reservation about just buying them is that they have no english subtitles, which doesn't really surprise me given the small market. My nihongo is pretty weak, but they may be interesting to watch despite this. A search for Koryu+video in this and other forums led me far afield from what I was looking for.
Please be assured I am certainly not going to try to learn koryu from a video! But if you can recommend this or another video, I would be grateful. I am principally interested in getting to see some clips of koryu/kobudo that I am not likely to study, such as kyudo or jukendo or different ryu to compare with the one I do study. Thank you for the help.
