Training Videos

[AdrianK]

Hey everyone, I've got a question for all of you.

I'm very much into collecting training and instructional videos on a variety of martial arts, so for all of you who do the same, what would you say are the top 5 of your collection?

Here's mine:

5. Kyokushin Karate Encyclopedia(IKO) - Just because its such a complete video on the art.

4. Uechi-Ryu w/ Shinyu Gushi(Pangai Noon Karate)

3. Bas Rutten's MMA Workout

2. Basically anything by Dr. Yang Jwing Ming, I have his Shaolin video, his qigong videos, and Taiji videos.

1. Wooden Dummy w/ Sifu Gary Lam


Theres tons more I have on various arts, but those are the ones that come to mind right now.

Anyone have any good recommendations on mok gar/south mantis/bak mei or bajiquan vids?

I'm a 100% GM Doc Fai Wong collector myself.

I cannot think of all the one's I have at the moment, but here are 5 of the one's that I like that I can think of. These are in no particular order.


Erle Montaigue - Everything about him can be controversial, but I find that his videos are quite decent.
Dr. Yang Jwing Ming - I love the way he does his videos and they are so clear. What he teaches is also very thorough, so I definitely have to have his name up here. I have his Shaolin video and quite a few of his books.
Gary Lam - I've seen about half or more of the videos he has put out. He makes me laugh so much by the way he explains things. Definitely good material.
Emin Boztepe - I've also seen about half or more of the videos he has put out as well. I think he explains a lot more about the fundamentals than most care to explain. Some of the points he made, really made me get why things work the way they do.
Wong Shun Leung - The video called Wing Chun - The Science of In-Fighting is simply fantastic. Check it out if you get the chance.


Anyways, I'm sure there are plenty more videos out there worthy of mentioning.

One's I like:

Stephan Kesting for BJJ

NySanDa vids for San Da

Steve Maxwell is a genius as far as I'm concerned when it comes to body movement/conditioning

Bas Rutten's stuff is all good...the workout is awesome!

Dr. Yang. Definitely Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming....

[David Jamieson]

straight blast gym stuff on mma

I got a whack of stuff from the 80's covering a few styles.
I haven't looked at the greater part of it though. :p

Too many to mention, suffice to say that I have at least 1 DVD from virtually every MA system ever put to DVD.
Favs?
Hmmm....
Hard to say but I will say this, in terms of fighting instructions, people need to realize that if they are doing a DVD on fighting they MUST showed it used in fights.
The Dog Brothers say it best:
See it taught, See it fought.

[AdrianK]

I agree with that, its unfortunate that it isn't the case in most videos. I have yet to see any videos of bak mei, south mantis or fujian white crane fight... I've seen a few good wing chun fights and a ton of bad ones..

I SO want to get involved with the Dog Brothers group. Do you know of any orgs in SW ontario?

My original plan for my DVD's was to show a clip of every technique being used in a live match, the editing project would just be so huge I had to forego that option

Official ones you mean?
Or just were guys get together and beat each other unoffically?

You don't have to go that far, only do it with stuff that may be "new" or "improvised" or to confirm or prove something.
