Considered one of America’s foremost pioneers in the art of Karate and kobudo, Richard Kim is caught on this DVD performing several of the classical weapons forms, including sai, bo and many more forms which date back to the 1700's.  Master Kim, who comes from the old school, learned from Okinawan Masters in pre war Japan as well as from the legendary Yoshido Kotaro.  This DVD also shows him performing in Brazil at the ITAKF World Championships when he performed a tongfa kata that brought the house to its feet.  If you ever wanted to learn kobudo, the old way, this is the DVD for you.  No new additions to katas, just the forms the way he learned them from his teachers.
