Last night I watched a documentary on Netflix about the Karate master
Fumio Demura. I had never heard of the guy, or so I thought. He was the expert who wrote a lot of books about karate weapons, such as the tonfa.
It was also interesting to see the way he organized demonstrations to enhance the visual aspects. Steven Segal was a big fan as well.
The demo below is fun. It is also impressive, given how old he was when he made it.
The documentary would have been better if they had shown his original training in Japan. Also he was important for the first Karate Kid film. It was a bit sad to see him so old, but his spirit seemed unbroken.
