Bonus Video

Sunday 11th June 2006

Due to technical issues this video has been removed - Edited Jan, 15, 2008

Here’s a bonus video from our special video shoot with the crew at Go Sho elementary school the other day. They are making a documentary on martial arts in Japan that will feature on tv is the US.

It’s a bit long at 13 minutes and 45MB but that’s why it’s called a “bonus video”! Thanks to mico and his mini-tripod.
