US Air Force Karate Training Video - Story of Emilio Bruno

USAF 1967 hand to hand combat training video shows mostly Shotokan-derived techniques. Emilio Bruno was a highly ranked judoka who was appointed to head a program where US airmen were exposed to and taught Japanese martial arts soon after the end of WWII. His efforts to popularize marital arts greatly contributed to the explosive growth of karate in the United States. Now, it must be said that many of the techniques presented in this video are poor, even atrocious, by exacting karate standards. Especially "cringeworthy" are the downward vertical shuto "karate chops". We have to understand, however, that the US Air Force's job was not to make karatekas. They did not have years of every day training to teach their personnel perfect technique. They simply utilized what they thought were the most efficient karate-based skills for their particular purpose.
