Summary: Great DVD when it's not stopping and skipping
Review: The music is beautiful and the footage is outstanding. It's just disappointing that it never plays straight through. All my other dvds play with no problems, so I'm not sure why this happens, but it's certainly a distraction and inconvience when the footage is so exciting.

Summary: not worth it
Review: This film as a dvd is quite annoying because the entire film is one chapter, not allowing you to navigate to a particular scene. The sound quality is terrible, the music annoyingly repetitive and while the "rare" film footage has some interesting moments the quality is so bad that you can barely make out what is happening. Also there are much better and dynamic shots of some of these budo masters that this film (because of copyright?) didn't make use of. More of a slide show the narration is ridiculously limited, the titles amateuristic and so all in all nothing is missed by not having this poorly researched and trite exercise.
