This rare Hakutsuru kata of Kumemura Village, Okinawa fully demonstrated on this DVD, is perhaps the most beautiful in karate's repertoire of forms. Shrouded in-mystery, this kata was brought to Kumemura by Chinese visitors from Fukien Province and perpetuated by Bushi Matsumura, Kenwa Mabuni, Shinko Matayoshi, Gokenki and Hohan Soken. On this DVD Master George Alexander, world renown martial arts historian and karate-ka, expertly performs and explains the kata. Master Alexander is known for his clear and concise bunkai and self defense interpretations. 60 minutes Full Color.
There is some controversy as to how close the form shown is to the original Okinawa-Fukien Hakutsuru kata as it has been reported that this version differs from the same named kata as taught in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, since the "real" truth may never be known, this work is presented and described as accurately as possible.
This is digitally remastered from the original VHS videocassette. Although everything has been done to enhance the picture and sound quality, some quality degradation may still exist.Most manufacturers of specialty titles now duplicate instead of replicate, and utilize inkjet printed covers. This is the standard manufacturing process used by most publishers. Contents are 100% guaranteed authentic.
