| Opinion: |
Before buying this I'd seen a few episodes on the
TV and enjoyed them. You get two discs amounting to 4 and a half hours of
watching. Chris Crudelli is clearly a talented martial artist and demonstrates his abilities to amazed on-lookers in a style reminisent of David Blaine's street magic. Perhaps more interesting is when he gets to meet some of the oriental (Chinese/Japanese/etc) masters of some very obscure martial arts. Some of these guys can do amazing things. I was interested to see that some of the martial arts skills demonstrated are actually trickery (to some degree), but as the narrator points out, to even to perform these 'tricks' you have to be very skillful indeed. Whilst this isn't an instructional DVD, there are bits and pieces, such as self defence techniques, that the amateur (very amateur in my case) martial artist can pick up from watching this series. This is a fascinating and entertaining series that will hold up to repeated viewings. |

| Opinion: |
A 2 DVD set of the programs shown on TV... Great opportunity to catch up on
those missed at the time of TV showing... Some very thought provoking systems and certainly they have found a wide range of martial artists with exceptional skills and abilities to entertain us. Certainly worth watching. |
