Movie Reviews of Introducing Yoga for Martial ArtsMovie Review: A High Standard for Martial Arts training videos Summary: 5 Stars
THIS is a quality martial arts (or is it yoga?) training video!I've been a martial artist for 20 years, in arts ranging from karatedo, to various gung fu, south-east asian systems, jiu-jitsu and even crazy-ass full-contact, no-rules stick fighting (the infamous Dog Brothers). And I've seen all manner of crappy training videos - I suspect the same people who make pornography also produce martial arts videos in their spare time. I could only WISH that other martial arts videos could do as well as this one. Not only is this a valuable reference in terms of content, it is, quite simply, very well made. Clean editting, professional camera work, tasteful settings, and even pacing set a standard that is to be envied. Past the introduction, the structure and pacing of the material is very well suited to self-training at home in front of the television. Enough time is given to allow study and practice with minimum rewinding and pausing during the presentation. Unlike some videos that either seem devoid of real material or present far too quickly and discontinuously, it is clear that the author has given careful consideration to his audience and the challenges of training from video. I have been a yoga convert for several years already so this isn't a hard sell to me. The content is a natural fit as far as I am concerned. I'm just thankful it comes in a worthwhile package!
