He did not think the three-dimensional view of what action entails was done justice with the camera, despite teh fact that he still was sometimes filmed when teaching. He also knew very well what happened with the Amherst videos of the interrupted training 1980-81

There is one exception, though!

In the same way that MF recorded ATM lessons in order to improve them, YA filmed the entire first basic training in Sweden. The basic training STHLM 1 was published in 2007, but it has been withdrawn and suspended by his estate.  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The teachers I know who have watched these videos, are amazed at the clarity and precision of his teaching. Several spontaneously expressed that a basic training with YR is in actuality at an advanced level or higher. They say they learn theory and get explanations of the handling. I am happy for their gains, butsad for what the community at large are missing.
