‘From the personal archives of an American Body-Guard to Japan’s Emperor’ From the personal archives of HAL SHARP one of the personal body guards to the Emperor of Japan at post WWII We are proud to bring you the first in this series of tapes. Sharp; truly a pioneer of American Martial Arts as he was graded to 3rd Dan in Judo in the Kodokan in 1955. Like Donn Draeger who manifested his fascination with Martial arts in writing; Hal Sharp expressed his fascination in filming- a film buff from the 1940’s – operating a 16 mm camera to professionally shoot and capture the top Martial Arts Masters of the 20th. Century. In this tape you will be able to learn leg sweeps and leg reaps like never before. Sharp will take you thru all the intricacies of these sometimes difficult to perform skills in a way that only a true master of the art can do. Each throw is done at various speeds and all are done against unwilling opponents so nothing here is set up it is for real all the way from the beginning to the end 50 minutes
