Unless you know the entire picture you should not make such an ass and idiot of your self! These tapes were made in the 70's & 80's moron! I was there. I know Vic! He also taught in studio and is Grand Master! The tapes were made to teach beyond the
studio and reach people who were not close by to attend class. Karate Connection was not a scam! And I hope that 20 years later, you see this message. Maybe by now you have matured!

Karate connection is indeed a scam. First, the premise of video testing. And Kenpo
at that, big surprise! Second, the tapes were produced using vintage 70s video
equipement, in an insectarium. How so? The picture quality is terrible, even by
Indian standards, and the room where this garbage is filmed is crawling with bugs,
that often fly across the camera.

There is one group of guys called the "Karate Connection" that "trains" you by
VHS tape from zip to an upper belt. What they teach is Kempo karate. The way
you pass the exams with them is you tape yourself doing some of the katas, and
other things. I've seen one tape of theirs (from your public library, of all
places!) and it looked bad.
