Tadahiko Otsuka GOJU-RYU Okinawa Karate Kata
This sample video is from the DVD that came with Tadahiko Otsuka's 468-page reprinted book. Originally published in 1977, this 13-book set known as "Goju Kensha Karatedo Goju-ryu Kyohon, Shidoin Course" which translates as "Goju-ryu Karatedo Complete Teaching Guide for Teachers." This set of books set a standard that other karate books have not been able to accomplish. The original 13-book series from 1977 is extremely rare.
Kanō Jigorō shihan
Kanō Jigorō (嘉納 治五郎?, 28 October 1860 – 4 May 1938) was the founder of judo. Judo was the first Japanese martial art to gain widespread international recognition, and the first to become an official Olympic sport. Pedagogical innovations attributed to Kanō include the use of black and white belts, and the introduction of dan ranking to show the relative ranking between members of a martial art style. Well-known mottoes attributed to Kanō include "Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit."
Masahiko Kimura vs. Helio Gracie - Kodokan Judo vs Brazilian Judo 1951
In 1955, Kimura, at 38 years old, and 80lbs heavier than Helio, he participated in a match in which he defeated Hélio Gracie of the famous Gracie Jiu Jitsu family in a submission judo match held in Brazil. During the fight, Kimura threw Gracie repeatedly with Ippon Seoinage (one arm shoulder throw), Osoto Gari (major outer reap) *Kimura's signature throw. He threw Helio 3 times with Osoto Gari.*, Ouchi Gari (major inner reap), Uchimata (inner thigh throw), and Harai Goshi (sweeping hip throw). Kimura reportedly threw Gracie repeatedly in an effort to knock him unconscious.
However, Helio proved to be tougher than he looked and Kimura was not able to knock him out. Kimura tried to summit Gracie by using grappling techniques such as kuzure-kamishiho-gatame (modified upper four corner hold), kesa-gatame (scarf hold), and sankaku-jime (triangle choke). Finally, thirteen minutes into the bout, Kimura positioned himself to apply a reverse ude-garami (arm entanglement, a shoulderlock). Gracie refused to submit, but loss the match. Many claim that if Kimura was in the same weight class as Helio, Helio would have won. At the end of the match, Kimura was so impressed by Helios technique that he invited Helio to teach at the Imperial Academy of Japan.

Kyuzo Mifune, Master of Judo

Kyuzo Mifune Sensei -
He had a tremendous love for judo and would often wake up the uchideshi (the live-in students) in the middle of the night to practice a new technique. He had an enormous feeling of gratitude for the opportunity to train. His gratitude included every aspect of life. He even expressed thanks for his small stature (5 feet 4 inches and 110 pounds) that made him fast and difficult to throw and for injuries that forced him to explore aspects of his training he might otherwise have missed.
Mifune had great kindness toward his students and a sincere interest in their well being and progress in the art.
