Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a pretty large collection of martial arts videos and DVD's. I have seen instructional DVD's that range from detailed kata instruction to the "secret" techniques sold from full page ads in the martial arts magazines, and I can say without reservation, that Shawn Kovacich is one of the best instructors that I have seen in my many, many hours spent viewing martial arts training. These DVD's are exceptional!
This three volume DVD set begins with the basics, then progress to offensive applications and defensive applications. Each volume contains two high quality DVD's and a massive amount of useful information. Most martial arts DVD's contain a huge amount of information, but the difference between these DVD's and many of the others, is that Kovacich's DVD's contain information which is practical and useful whether it is applied in a sports setting or in the streets in a life-or-death situation.
Shawn Kovacich instructs from a real-life point of view, which I believe is very important. The majority of the techniques are performed in street clothes and footwear, which is how you will be dressed if you ever need to use this information on the streets. And not only does Kovacich teach from a practical standpoint, but he is an expert at explaining things in a very straightforward, understandable way. His examples and tips are excellent, and cover everything imaginable from types of footwear and how they affect your kicks, to clothing and the fine points of each technique.
Each kick and technique is shown both in full-speed and in slow motion which enables the viewer to completely comprehend exactly what this master instructor is trying to convey. I could go on and on about these DVD's, but for the sake of space, I will simply state that if you want to improve your kicking knowledge and ability, there is only one DVD series that I would recommend - The Achieving Kicking Excellence Series! This is easily the most impressive and complete DVD set available as far as martial arts kicks and their applications is concerned, and I think that they are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend each of these volumes! You will not be disappointed. You may also want to check out the 10 book Achieving Kicking Excellence book series. They are a perfect companion set to these DVD's. 5 Stars!!
