Extremely Happy!!!!
My name is Melvin "The American Bodyguard" Key. I've been training in Krav Maga for about 2 years now and I must say the team that put this series of videos together is top notch. When I say that, I mean that the ease of instruction, the attention to detail and the complete walk thru of the Krav Maga fighting spirit is captured in the videos. The instructors are knowledgeable and from what I have seen so far just about everything that you will learn from an actual Krav class from Day 1 is captured in these video. In addition to the attention to detail of the instructors, is the attention to detail from the video production team. I must say top notch highly quality video that captured action as well as the slow motions, stills and visual effects to include the on screen instructions.I am completely satisfied with this video and would recommend to anybody. In fact I am using the video to train students in my Executive Protection (Bodyguard) School. HardTargetbodyguards.comThe only downfall to the video is that you don't have a real instructor to coach you when you are messing up or doing something strategically wrong. Well, I guess you can't have everything but I'm sure if these instructors could come through the screen to help they certainly would! :-) ^5 to the Ultimate Krav Series.

Great Videos.
Many want to learn self defense but ma not have a Krav Maga class near them. These Videos will take you far, but you must be willing to watch them and practice the materiel to get the best out of them. It is always best to learn in a class setting but if you do not have the money or thee is not a class around you then these videos are great.GA1122nd Volunteers, Frontiersmen have developed a Defensive Tactical Training program and many of the techniques in thse videos are used by our personnel as well as material from the Self Defense Company.I highly Recommend these videos for anyone interested in self defense or Krav Maga.

solid buy. very happy.
i would have given this a full 5 star if not for the last DVD i.e. DVD number 5 which has the 2 guys giving information on warm ups.there idea is great and the warm up exercises are also good but the execution of the DVD 5 leaves a lot to be desired.Simple points that show maybe not enough mind application:1. the narrator was just reading of a script and not explaining in laymen terms. That part is terirble.2. the guy doing the warm ups to show them - why is he in formal attire with a full sleeves shirt, black plants and black leather shoes?3. the lighting in the last DVD is so dark that you have a hard time to make things out. The fact that the person shojwing the exercises is wearing black formal pants and on a black matter just shows that these 2 people of the last DVD completely missed the point.The rest 4 DVDs - which are the meats of the instruction are great and I really loved themthe last DVD is just 17 odd minutes and even if bad in execution the idea and exercise are God so excusable.but they (last DVD) did cost these guys a 5 star rating in my book.

The Ultimate self defense system!
Top shelf all the way, for this DVD. Great production values, super instructors, easy to learn techniques, everyone can pick up something useful with this set. I had the whole family watch and learn these defense tactics,and drills. Easy to understand, succinct repetitions, brilliant instruction. This is for everyone who wants to learn how to be safe, and wants to prepare a family. I am glad the bad guys don't know this martial art! You can learn enough in every lesson to be safe right away. I really love the instructors and actors, just something about the way Aussies talk that makes it more interesting! Throw in the Israeli instructors, and you have Oscar material, IMO!!

disapointed
I do not see how this DVD set was rated so high by its viewers. Maybe it is just to much for beginers? (it does say for beginers and intermediates after all)first I should have been more careful with only two real instructors from Israel...thats the first red flag.If this set did not have them it would be pure garbage.Disk 4 seems to be the only "good" one, with 3 being OK.Most of the videos are filmed in a darkened area, which sucks. The main "host" Duncan Pattle makes this set hard to watch. He makes little sound effects with his mouth with every punch or kick...after a few doven it gets old, and there must be hundreds of them!I feel some of the material is just watered down by poor instructors like Pattle. Amnon Darsa and Eyal Yanilov are the only ones on the set worth watching.If you are looking for simple yet hard core combatives, pass on this set. Go with something from Kelly McCann/Jim Grover.

Product review
The material content in these recordings is outstanding. It is a great teaching method, broken down in steps of difficulty, well illustrated and the instructions are very good to follow if you don't have any self defense background. If you do have prior training in any system, this is a very good add on to your experience. Any one with experience can see and analyse the moves and implement it to their workouts. I heard from an instructor once say that simplicity is genius, well, this system helps you learn simple techniques for multiple situations so that if you need to react one day, God forbid, you don't stumble and react out of muscle memory.

Perfetto
Raccolta di DVD ottima per imparare alcune tecniche del Krav Maga da uno dei suoi praticanti più esperti: ci sono sottotitoli in diverse lingue e le tecniche, suddivise per tipologia, vengono ripetute più volte, prima per intero e velocemente e, poi, in modo più lento e un movimento alla volta. Cofanetto arrivato puntuale e in ottime condizioni, come sempre un eccellente servizio da parte di Amazon.

excellent as usual
The service from Amazon, excellent as usual. The quality of the DVD's and the packaging, very good. It will take me a while to review the content of the DVD's. First impression is that they are well made, good tone and picture. There appears to be a lot of repetition, but then again they are training DVD's, so that's probably unavoidable.
