Really good teaching, great quality video.......2004-07-20

The DVD has tons of stuff on it, enough to learn for years. Military and law professionals should be training this stuff.

The best Chin Na instruction available!.......2004-05-27

I have been fortunate enough to learn the techniques from Dr. Yang himself in his seminars. He is a great teacher, a highly developed master, and a rare individual. If you've read any of his books you know how well organized, researched, and thorough his writing is. Well his videos are the same. These DVDs are as good as you can get. Nothing compares to one on one instruction, but these techniques are very clearly demonstated with close ups and alternate angles. A person can get a very good understanding by watching these and practicing along with a partner.
Some user complained about watching students "fumble" around with the techniques while Dr. Yang corrects them (mostly on the higher level DVDs). There is a good reason for this. These students are well practiced and still make mistakes. They are likely to be the same mistakes you will make. This method helps you recognize them as mistakes so you can refine your technique. Well worth the money! I recomend his seminars first and buy the DVD to review and practice between seminars.

Great series! Get them all!.......2004-04-27

This DVD has Courses 5,6,7 & 8 out of the complete 12 Volume series. Dr. Yang is by far the best teacher on the subject of grappling, and this entire series is fantastic. The DVD is cheaper than buying all of the VHS, and much less expensive than a seminar, but he really puts it all into this DVD. The instruction is very clear, and he has students attempt the technique and corrects their mistakes, which is great to learn from. My partner and I make these same mistakes at first, and find ourselves watching these corrections often. The DVD itself is all digital picture and sound and has tons and tons of DVD-only content, like Video Clips of Dr. Yang doing kung fu and tai chi in other videos and a catalog that sends you right to the ymaa store on your PC.
