The Karate of Hidetaka Nishiyama

Hidetaka Nishiyama is one of the legendary names of Shotokan karate. He was friends with Kushida Sensei and Nishiyama once visited Kushida's dojo when he was traveling in the US.

Below is a clip from a documentary from the 1950's featuring Nishiyama demonstrating Shotokan. I'm afraid that there is no music, strobe lights, or bellowing like someone was birthing a calf. Still, I think that it is something you might enjoy anyway.
