[wadoka]

any better?

[Gary]

Still nothing!

[Gary]

Ahh wait - got it

[Tesshu]

Watching the Italian viddy of Ohtsuka reminded me of an old 8 or 16 mm film with Ohtsuka and Sensei Patterson (I think). It's on a DVD-r my friend made for me, and I suppose I should get the youtube downloader installed to put it up. Just don't expect anything quick, because changing diapers is my main job most of the time. Does anybody know about this film?

[wadoka]

Do you mean this one?

[Tesshu]

I sound like Yoda--but no, there is another. I'm working on it right now.

[wadoka]

Ooo, a little treat in the offering.

[Tesshu]

I think I got it. It's gonna take another 30 minutes to upload. It's a silent film with Ohtsuka doing kata (including Bassai and messing up on Chinto), knife and sword defense with someone who I guess is Sensei Patterson, and some moving basic. I'll put it in a fresh thread.
