How to Jiujitsu, released in 1998, is one of those films that sits in a peculiar niche. The pacing is oddly rhythmical, almost meditative at times, making the action sequences feel distinctly impactful rather than frenetic. The practical effects, though limited by budget, carry a certain charm—there's a rawness that kind of pulls you in. The performances range from earnest to a bit over-the-top, which adds to its unique flavor. It’s not your typical martial arts film; it feels like an exploration of discipline and determination, wrapped in a low-key vibe that makes it stand out in your collection.
This film has seen limited distribution, which adds to its allure for collectors. It was initially released on VHS, but finding a good condition copy can be a challenge. The DVD version is relatively scarce as well, making it a point of interest for those who appreciate underground martial arts cinema. The blend of its unique narrative style and the sometimes awkward performances generates a curious conversation piece within any collector's library.
