5.0 out of 5 stars simple and useful, December 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Junsado Fundamentals, Standing and Ground Combat (DVD)

This DVD seems to have evolved from his earlier work. You rarely find DVD's that contain majority of good moves. This one does not only teach the moves but start to go into principles. The ground portion is interesting as it discusses how to build your own triangular power frame while destroying your opponent's. While the student would do well to not follow all the moves religiously without personal modification, many principles work well in so many situation but one must do his own thinking.

Mr. Kim's communication is clear and simple. Even though English is not his first language, he does a great job getting the point across.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supper self-defense, December 29, 2004

This review is from: Junsado Fundamentals, Standing and Ground Combat (DVD)

I have trained in the martial arts for 18 years. I have the rank of 4th Dan black belt. This video has more self-defense, and practical information then I learned in all my training. This video does cover some basics like punching and kicking, but it's almost all self-defense. This video is worth buying.
