Click on links below. We have HOURS of video that we can convert to clips and upload. Check back frequently we will try to add additional clips utill we've posted a suitable representation.

1. Sensei in Demonstration at European Cup, Hungary 2007

 

2. Sensei Breaking beer bottles with Shuto (It's very difficult to see breaking glass because it happens so fast. We have slowed down the video as much as we could. In the slow clip, look for the neck of the bottle flying skyward, straight up, to the left of the iron beam in the background.)

3. Some dojo kumite, Sensei and former residentail student

4. Second Year BKH Student Fighting. This is a big file but worth the wait. Remember that BKH residential student is only in his second year of training in Karate, ever. His black belt oponent, on the other hand, has been training for 6-8 years. This is the difference between training part-time vs. full-time. You can't rush experience so you'll see the BKH students outclassed technically, but you'll also see that they're tough enough to stand toe to toe after only 12-14 months training. This is current dormitory resident, Paul Kaminski, in Rochester. We almost didn't add this video, embarrassed by the outfit the other fighter was wearing, but he was a decent fighter, and it was a decent fight.

5. Stick It Out. By Rebekah Fergusson. This is an actual 15-minute documentary film made about our residential program by a Duke University Documentary Film student. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the residential program. Not alot of action here -- get that from the clips above -- but lots of excelent interview. Wanna meet Sensei Ligo? Here's your chance!This is three years ago and the dojo was barely open.

6. Tameshiwari (breaking) in Korea 2005. Kata performed during demo is Tensho

7. Pinan 2 Application Demonstration. Kata shown first time through is Pinan 2. Immediately following, Sensei performs the kata again at 2005 demonstration in Korea with coriographed attackers in order to demonstrate the kata's application.

8. Lerner Demo. A NYC television producer named Steven Lerner came to Ligo Dojo in 2006 to investigate residentail program for reality show. This, and the kumite above (3), was part of the demonstration we did for him.

9. Kanku. Execution of the kata, Kanku. Here for the sake of Ligo Dojo students who are practicing it. This tape is abotu two years old and, for Sensei, painful to watch. "I get to see all my mistakes too!"

10. First-Year BKH Student Fighting. Current BKH residentail student, Paul Kaminski, at Japan Weight category tournament last year. Kaminski is the one who's NOT Japanese. In this case BKH student had been training for less than three months and this is his first international tournament experience.

 

11. First-Year BKH Student Fighting. Former BKH residentail student at Japan Weight category tournament. BKH student is the one who's NOT Japanese. In this case BKH student has been training for less than six months and this is his first international tournament experience.

 

12. Gekisai-sho. Kata performed by Sensei in Kata Competition at Korea Open Tournament in 2006.

13. Second Year BKH Student Fighting. This is a big file but worth the wait. Remember that BKH residential student (brown belt) is only in his second year of training in Karate, ever. His black belt oponent, on the other hand, has been training for 6-8 years. This is the difference between training part-time vs. full-time. You can't rush experience so you'll see the BKH students outclassed technically, but you'll also see that they're tough enough to stand toe to toe after only 12-14 months training. This is the tournament we went to in 2007 in Hungary
