Yes, I have seen that programme on the National Geographic Channel. It also has footage of, (forgive my spelling), Moriji Mochida? I think he was the last 10th Dan in Japan, fencing against what I have been told- a 6th Dan. I wonder what it took to pass a 9th or even 10th Dan grading?? Anyway, the late Mochida sensei made the fight against the 6th Dan look easy he was always in control . I suggest to anyone if you can watch this footage it really is something to behold!

But I do have a question what does "Hanshi" mean???
Cheers! John
