Travel to Japan to explore the origins of the martial arts in this action-packed docudrama that's as informative as it is entertaining. In addition to exploring the various techniques of "Budo" (including Karate, Judo, Aikido, etc.), this film also educates viewers in the spiritual and traditional aspect of this unique martial art. With detailed footage of training and technique, this remarkable film is as close as many Westerners are likely to come to experiencing the true core of martial arts as displayed by some of the most skillful practitioners in all of Asia. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The title makes it sound like some cheesy action movie, but this is an excellent documentary of Japanese martial arts. The narration can be a little mellow dramatic as well (it was produced in 1981).

An oldie but a goodie! This documentary really shines. It depicts multiple martial arts and gives realism to each of the styles. Check out the karate master cutting bottles with his hands! Awesome!
