Review Fatal Deviation - v / Rising Sun Video:A young man played by James Bennett a kenpo karate martial artist returns home after ten years in reform school to find out who murdered his father. He is befriended by old monk and a local Irish beauty played by Nicole O'Sullivan. His search takes him to the prestigious bealtaine Martial Arts Tournament. Together with his past the good guy is drawn into conflict with the local drug baron and his son. The conflict makes the young man face his fathers death in an unusual way he had never imagined. The action is explosive, the fight scenes are dynamic and the story is wonderful. One of the great things about the film is that one of the car rollovers which happens in the film was not suppose to happen at all but the stunt team got carried away and you will see a real wreck that nearly killed some of the actors.

Review Stretching and Breathing / Self Defense Inc. (SDI):Stretching and Breathing The often-forgot about area of self-defense are stretching and breathing. Many training programs seek to explain self defense or martial arts concepts. This SDI program will cover how to effectively prepare for training as well as conditioning the body and mind, which may assist an individual throughout everyday life. The more I watch Mr. Saladino, the more I like what Mr. Saladino teaches. After having watched several of his tapes, I highly recommend this series, based on what I've seen so far. And forget purchasing just 1 or 2 of Mr. Saladino's tapes! Even though each tape can stand on its own, and benefit a person greatly, the real beauty of this system is learning to use and combine what's taught on each of his tapes, especially the last 3 we've reviewed. If a person were to really dedicate oneself to learning each of those 3 tapes, they'd have one heck of a fighting system. [+]And if that's not a strong enough recommendation about this series, let me put it this way, "Because of it's thorough and complete utilization of various martial arts techniques, and it's infinite possibilities, this is THE style I wish I'd started out with 20 years ago!" United Fighting System Program Review.

Review Shotokan Karate Advanced Training V.4 (Tsunami) / Dragon Associates Inc.:These brand new videos by renowned karate instructor and historian Harry Cook are packed with information you will find nowhere else. Harry is best known as the author of Shotokan Karate: A Precise History, widely regarded as the most important book of its type ever published, and the knowledge gained from the three decades of research and training that produced this volume, is also very evident in these professionally produced training videos. In these fascinating programs the author shows how karate was transformed from an effective martial art to little more than a gymnastic performance in less than a lifetime, and demonstrates the robust pre-war karate of the original Shotokan training hall in Tokyo's Toshima-ku district first opened by Gichin Funakoshi in 1939.

Review Functional Karate by Takayuki Kubota / Tsunami Productions:Author Takayuki Kubota is a veteran of police departments on both sides of the Pacific, a former diplomatic bodyguard, instructor to the FBI and DEA as well as other less public government departments. He is credited with the development of the side-handled police baton and the Kubotan® keychain as well as a host of restraint, handcuffing, and fingerprinting techniques that are approved for use by police forces across the U. S. His aptly named, professionally produced new program is packed with the practical techniques that have made him a legend in law-enforcement and karate circles. It is fast moving, easy to follow, visually appealing and shows very graphically the extent of his mastery of timing, fighting distance, and joint manipulation. Kubota sensei demonstrates the brutally effective control, restraint, and defensive techniques that are his forté, and he does so in great detail. With a partner he first breaks down the technique into a logical sequence. Then he performs it smoothly as a single movement, and then at full speed as his extensive experience dictates it would happen "on the street. The techniques he shows are practical responses to armed and unarmed attacks and include counters, blocks, throws, locks, choke-holds, take-downs and combinations of the above. They are by necessity brutal: there are no second chances in Kubota's world; multi-faceted: keep attacking any way you can until you win, and conservative: don't give your opponent a chance to respond.

Review Life and Legend of Bob Wall:Perhaps no man in the history of the martial arts has been as fortunate as Bob Wall. He has trained with the best Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, and Gene LaBelle. He has taught some of Hollywoods most influencial celebrities from Steve Mc Queen and Elvis Presley to many many more. He was part of Chuck Norris's famous West Coast Team Of Champions and he has become one of the most successful men ever in martial arts. On this DVD/VHS he tells you all from his lessons on life from Chuck Norris and Muhammid Ali, Elvis Presley, and Bruce Lee to his experiences with Jean Claude van Damme and Steven Seagal. But perhaps his biggest claim to fame was his role in Enter The Dragon where he played the evil Ohara. You will see behind the scenes footage, never before seen by the public, watch Bruce and Bob practise the famous spin kick sequence plus loads more that you will just not believe. He talks about the only five subjects Elvis was interested in. How he met Steve McQueen and how good was elvis really. A totally fabulous DVD/VHS that you will watch over and over again just to see the rare footage of his early fights in the 1960's and from the making of Enter The Dragon.
