REVIEWS

"As a police officer, defensive tactics instructor, and lifelong martial artist, I have to say that this is one of the best martial arts videos that I have purchased. Every technique on the DVD is top quality, and I will pass them on to my students at the law enforcement academy.
Thank you so much for making this DVD available to the public.
Sincerely, Corporal Joseph T. Gonzales. Merrillville, IN Police Department"

"Dr. Yang has produced a very good tape series that is made even better with DVD technology. Anyone interested in this type of material would do well to go the DVD route. The DVD’s convenience and added features make it a superior investment over the tape medium, and it provides a good example of how martial arts instructional material can be taken to the next level."

5 of 5 stars. C. Cheung (Brooklyn, NY) October 14, 2005

"This is an excellent series that was very well produced, not like some dvd I've seen where they transfer some old VHS tape to DVD. The movements are shown in regular speed and then broken down in a slower pace and then done in close up. Very highly recommended!!!"
