5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars at £4.99 14 Jun 2006
By S J Buck TOP 500 REVIEWER
I'd seen a few episodes on the TV and enjoyed them a lot. Didn't know the DVD was even available until two weeks ago when I found it by accident.
At the price this is fantastic value for money. You get two discs amounting to 4 and a half hours of watching.
Crudelli is clearly a talented martial artist and demonstrates his abilities to amazed on-lookers in a style reminisent of David Blaine's original 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 a very skillful martial artist indeed.

Whilst this isn't an instructional DVD there are bits and pieces the amateur (very amateur in my case) martial artist can pick up from this DVD (such self-defence techniques).
I've watched the first five episodes so far and have found it to be a very entertaining DVD, and contrary to a previous reviewer I can confirm this is a widescreen DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great insight into the Matrial Arts World 3 Jun 2007
I've never done any martial arts, but love the films. After watching this it has amazed me so much I'm even thinking about joining some classes after summer. The program is funny, informative, shocking and really entertaining. The presenter is a martail artist and travels the world giving insights into different martial arts, from the fighting of the big screen to police training in Asia to bar brawls in england, this DVD has it all. Must see for anyone remotely interested in the world of martail arts...

Throughly enjoyed this series, hopefully there will be another one... Watched it each night after Karate training and thought it was great, Chris is a good presenter who get's himslef involved and explains well. ok so some of the "street bits" are a bit dangerous (to an untrainned professional) but they do say not to be practised or tried out, so aslong as you don't think your Bruce Lee after watching the 2 disks, you'll be fine!!! It's a little bit of an insight to otherwise un-heard, unknown oriental Martial arts, well worth the price.
