I’ve had a bizarre hankering to watch Mind, Body, and Kick-Ass Moves, a docuseries from 2004 which was shown on BBC and presented by a Brummie martial artist called Chris Crudelli. Just him checking out some martial arts in East Asia and showing off some of the things he’d learned over the years. For some reason the only two things I remember about it where some Japanese sword-fighter who had figured out how to take steps without tensing muscles in his ankles (apparently a particularly knowledgeable opponent can tell when you’re going to make a move by that) and Crudelli himself basically standing up against a bunch of people trying to push him over.
Can’t find it anywhere to buy or stream and when I do find it it’s usually a region 2 DVD, which wouldn’t be the end of the world but is a hassle to get watching.
I would urge anyone with an interest in the area to give it a watch if they can, it was quite enjoyable.
