Pride Shockwave 2004, bit of good, bit of boring

Advantages: Some great matches
Disadvantages: Some timewasters

...dvd contains the now defunct Pride FC's 2004 New year's eve supershow. Of the 11 fights featured only Ryo Chonan vs Anderson Silva (featuring one of the most memorable submissions ever) Takanori Gomi vs Jens Pulver, Mark Hunt vs Wanderlei Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Fedor Emelianko are outstanding matches that you'll want to rewatch again and again. The rest is mostly filler unfortunately. Crocop vs Randleman is a big disappointment and ...

A little let down for the Little Dragon

Advantages: some rare footage, some decent interviews
Disadvantages: nothing really new, not instructional in any way.

...years. You get to see bruce working out in his back yard including some footage of Bruce teaching James Coburn. However, for those who think they will learn anything about the art he created; Jeet Kune Do, you will be sadly disappointed. Bruce filmed his sessions so he could work camera angles for his films. It was also a way he could watch his own techniques and refine them. The clips with Coburn were done so that James could watch them and learn ...
...the clips were done with Bruce intending to teach or demonstrate his art. Instructionals on JKD are plentiful in the USA but personally, I would say that the nearest to true JKD would be the Black Belt dvd of Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo. As a documentary on Lee, this is quite good with footage which was otherwise unavailable. Some of the interviews are pertinent and give a good insight into the man and his motivation and the interview with his ...

Tai Chi Instructional DVD

Advantages: Easy to learn and understand.
Disadvantages: None...

...a lot of information regarding Tai Chi. The dvds are also filmed live so the infomation is easily undertood with no voice overs. Both Yang and Chen style Tai Chi are covered with a dvd specifically for each style and there is also a basic Qi Gong style covered. On both of the dvds, there is a section for basic training which covers the basic hand and feet movements as well as basic footwork for that particular style of Tai Chi. There is then a ...
...which takes each of the Tai Chi styles and talks about their use in combat. Master Wong goes through each technique many times to make sure that the information is understood and can easily be followed. The bonus material on the two dvds contain interviews with a Chinese Master and shows this Master demonstrating several styles. I found this dvd to be very easy for learning the forms and it contained a lot of information about Tai Chi. The two ...

The best of aston villa 2005/2006 all summed up in 160 minutes

Advantages: Very detailed look at the 2005/2006 season
Disadvantages: There arent any

The aston villa season review 2005 / 2006 is a trip down memory lane at the highs and lows of that year! This particular year aston villa struggled under david o'leary but the positves were the inclusion of some very promising youngsters in the first team squad. It is a very good dvd which includes month by month results,squad profiles and match stats and who could forget the 3-1 win over close rivals birmingham city which is included as extended ...

The subaru impreza story (dvd), a good enthusiasts dvd.

Advantages: Intresting history and good interviews
Disadvantages: Dated, too padded out.

The Subaru Impreza story give a indepth reveiw of the 'classic' shape Impreza Turbo. It includes the history of the rally team and the development of the rally and road car. it also shows the options to enthusiasts of how they can modify their own cars and reviews the advantages of joining clubs and features lots of drivers on track days. The DVD also features interviews with some of the most infulential people behind the development of the car. ...
...Knowlage about the marque. However some parts are just included to fill space and the sound track, in my opinion, is very dated and a little annoying. I'd recomend this DVD to any Hardcore Impreza fan, but it only covers the 'classic' shape and does show its age. ...
