Interview with Kaicho Jon Bluming 1998

This is a part of the interview. It took part in Kaicho's home in De Bilt, Holland. It was recorded on Super 8 tape and I had problems with the camera. However, it is a fascinating piece of martial arts history from the lips of one of the 20th Century's seminal instructors. Enjoy and Learn! Osu!

In 1992 I was at a Kyokushin seminar in Ergolding (Germany) and as always I was much too early. I wondered who was doing construction working there on that day because I heard loud hammering sounds. I looked around and found a friendly elderly man in a brown chequered suit working the wall with his fists....This was the moment Jon Bluming picked me for being his punching ball for the whole weekend seminar :) ..If you ever had the pleasure to train with him you know what I mean. ;-) Rest in peace Jon!

What westerners don't understand is there are different interpretation of the same behavior between the East and the West...
