If you can wait for a few months, we'll be including it for free on CD in a later issue this year!

I have purchased e-bogu's 12th WKC video for men's team competition. It comes on 2 video tapes. The first tape begins with a jodo versus kendo demonstration. Then, they started showing action from the preliminary bouts. I've only seen about 5 minutes so far.
The quality of the video-taping is good; it's focused.

John,

I got the Kendoshop 12 WKC video now. The quality is nice, with some kumdovj-like slow-motion highlights. It was shot from the side of the court though, apparently with good quality amateur equipment.

All in all it's much better than the 'official' 11 WKC video, but it's not up to par with, say, the Hachidan Taikai tapes made in Japan, or even with kumdovj's best moments.

I finished watching both tapes.
They showed highlights of the preliminary bouts.
Then, they showed another weapons demonstration.
Then, they showed the semi-final and finals bout in their entirety with color commentary and slow-motion replay.

Overall, these tapes were worth the money.
The color commentary was a bit monotone.
