Excellent video
The product was straight forward; had several functional exercises; and well delivered. I am a ninth degree in Kenpo and have some knowledge of stick fighting and this progressed in a logical manner that would allow someone with no experience to progress. I don't usually do reviews because they tend to sensor negative reviews. I only answered this because this video was such a good product and my love for the art regardless of what style you belong to.

Absolutely Superb!
First my background. Years of kickboxing and wrestling but NO experience in stick fighting (A one hour intro at the Fairtex in SF many years does not count)So I wanted (needed) some basics, a strong foundation if you may and was skeptical about a video being able to provide that. I was wrong. Full Contact Stick Fighting does that and then some. Mr. Stoops is a fantastic instructor. He provides easy-to-follow, yet detailed instructions, showing the footwork and explaining the "why" of this or that thrust. And, building a solid foundation, he adds complexity without overwhelming you. The video quality is also excellent (unlike some others i bought on Amazon:(All in all a very very good buy.

Like it a lot
This is one of two DVD's. I think it is really good on learning Kail.The other one I found is on You Tube, and is offered by Black Belt magazine; "Kali Sticks Video_ Filipino Fighting Arts Master Julius Melegrito Demonstrates Sinawali Basics"

DID NOT PLAY
I purchased both Full Contact Stick Fighting Fundamentals and Volume 2 a long time ago but I moved so I was not able to watch until I uncovered them from one of my sealed boxes. Both DVD cases were still plastic wrapped. I tried watching the fundamentals and the DVD player simply pulsating turns. I tried any of my regular DVD movies and it played fine so I know it was not my DVD player. I tried playing the second DVD Volume 2 and it also only pulsating turns and never played. Needless to say I got played with a fake DVD. Too late now.
