Shotokan Karate Masters 50's JKA

JKA Masters of the 50's features Senseis Nakayama, Nishiyama, Kanazawa, Enoeda, Mikami, Obata and many more of the top instructors of the JKA . Enoida sensei can be seen in a very rare footage preventing a rape in a screen test for a feature film. It also appears it was part of the popular Practical Karate Series of books in a film format. For some reason, this was never released or publicly seen. This video shows these masters when they were very young, in their teens or early twenties. Another value of this footage is that it was probably filmed by the late Donn F Draeger. Approx. 30 minutes B/W.
