Just wanted to inform everyone of the wonderful films made by Jon Braeley over at http://www.emptymindfilms.com/

I have no connection other than as a satisfied customer - I've got most of the films they have made, with the exception of some of the "Warriors of Budo" series (and I'm working on getting through those)

Wonderfully shot, beautiful and informative films - the "art of the Japanese sword" film has a section of interview with Otake Sensei, and some footage of training at the Shinbukan

The "warriors of budo - episode five (Kendo)" has a great look at the Mizoguchi-Ha Itto Ryu of Ozawa Sensei, and some great footage of 'old school' kendo including grappling at Ichikenkai Haga dojo, narrated by Kendo World's Dr Alex Bennett

I watched the newest "history of budo" film last night and although there was nothing ground breaking presented, it was another beautiful film, and nice to see some of my sempai doing enbu
