Documentary of Eiga Naoki

[qpuppy]

heya people...

recently I found a very short clip at a kumdo site of Eiga Naoki. It was like a documentary of him, regarding about kendo... (was abit like Ishida sensei's documentary) but it was only about 3 mins worth of it...
Just wanna know if anyone out there knew about this.. and if they have a copy of the full documentary.. if on the net.. can anyone tell me where I can Download it.... if not... anyone have a copy on VHS? If so.. can I have a copy of it?

Thanks!!!

All I gotta say is that it's an awesome and extremely inspiring documentary. I heard that the two choices to do the documentary were Eiga or Ando...And I think they did it on the right person...

Here are my observations and feelings that I had while watching the documentary...

1. I have seen similar types of documentaries on athletes in other sports, such as football or baseball...and those stories are very inspiring. However, this documentary made me really glad that I chose the path of Kendo. It really captured the spirit of Kendo. I think it showed that the people throughout the world practice Kendo for the love of the art.....not commercial or endorsement deals or multimillion dollar salaries..

2. I felt that the video really showed the inner most thoughts as well as the trials and tribulations that a competitive Kendoist goes through in their career. It was good to know that even the World Champion has injuries, fears and moments of doubt. It was good to see that we both did the same thing; by going to the empty dojo to clean and do suburi to do some introspection....

3. Also, even though I am always grateful of my wife's support, the video also gave me even more insight that behind every Senshu there is a wife and/or family supporting them from the background...without their love, patience and support, we would not be able to do our best......

4. The final match couldn't have been better between two great Senshu..It really came down to Two titans giving it their all at what is probably their final match at a World Championship...

When I saw Eiga San's tsuki live at the World's, my initial impression was that it had slipped off and was not a point. However, after seeing it on video, it just appeared that way because KN Kim turned his body after the tsuki...It was really an incredible and beautiful "one in a million" point that he found..It reminded me of Pele's Bicycle kick in the movie "Victory".

It's definitely a must see...

Oh yeah.....there's a cameo of me in the video as well....there's a scene where the camera pans the crowd and you can see me hanging with MooCow....I'm sitting to MooCow's left..

I am assuming that this NHK program was entirely in Japanese, right? So even if I could get a copy, it'd be doing me no good.... *sigh*

Hopefully, the NHK would put out an English version of it, as it had with the "Kendo Gruelling Challenge," the hachidan test.

Perhaps we can all write to some NHK program director's email and promote this idea. Anyone knows a contact:)

[Nishi]

Great Idea, what does NHK stand for?

[LNGUYEN]

About the championship, I can buy the tape from the net. However, it doesn't cover every matches. Does any one know who or where have copies of every matches?

[aru-ma]

NHK stand for Nihon Housou(sp?)Kaisha which just translates to japanese broadcasting company (JBC :lick: )

[IYA KALI]
