Hello Wado friends,

a good friend of mine just gave me a gift, it's Fukuzawa Hiroji's DVD, and it's a great one! For those of you who doesn't know him, Fukuzawa sensei is one of Suzuki sensei's student, and he also trained a little with Mochizuki sensei (of Yoseikan fame).

On the DVD, Fukuzawa sensei shows the usual food groups of Kihon (Junzuki, Tobikomi, Nagashizuki etc), Kata (the big nine, plus some others like Rohai, Jion, Jitte, Wanshu, Niseishi etc) and techniques particular to Suzuki sensei's group (WIKF) like the Maegeri uke, Sanbon Kumite, Ohyogumite (with the bonecrushing throws too ;) and Suzuki sensei's interpretation of Tantodori & Idori. Fukuzawa sensei's Jujutsu movements is rather different with the Jujutsu as practiced by Otsuka Jiro sensei (they have different "feel"..), but still, he moves very well!

This DVD will not help complete beginners to learn the art, but it does give a good overall review of Wado techniques for black belt level.

Anybody seen this DVD? What's your comments?
