Customer Reviews

Pitiful - One of the worst training videos ever purchased
This video was AWFUL! First, the production quality was poor. It was recorded in a dojo with hardwood floors and the sounds was almost unintelligible. But the content, in my opinion, was worse - it focused on teaching a single two stick kata which was described as a soft style dance. There were a few demonstrations of double stick warm up exercises like you would learn in an Arnis course, but almost nothing in the way of technique, strike, or block training. There were a few techniques for using the sticks against an opponent using a Bo staff, but this is not a complete weapons training course by any means. I will not be buying any videos from this author in the future.

Kicking But with 2 Sticks
Man! This video was amazing. The skill demonstrated in this video was beautiful. The information was very clear and easily understandable. I love Kobudo and this is definitely one of my favorite videos.

Very accurate and effective!
If you don't think you could effectively use 2 sticks to kick some butt,
then just watch this DVD. I just watched it and the guy on the video was
very informative, clear & concise. As far as I'm concerned, these techniques
are very accurate and appear to be very effective.
