KARATE: THE ART OF WAR celebrates a time in which matches were based on combat rather than the accumulation of points. Before being bound by today's Wuko judging system, karate was fought upon the Fajko judging system, which allowed matches to progress until the last player was standing. The results were often brutal, but always exciting. With over 2000 clips gathered from across the world, THE ART OF WAR explores the technique behind key players of those eras, including Brennan Hall and Christopher Best. [More]
