I recently received the Christopher Getz Ultimate Boxing 8 DVD Boxed Set and on first pass I am impressed. There is so much information it took me over a week just to view them all. I have over 40 pages of notes after watching just half of them. Getz is a very skilled and knowledgeable teacher who is never boring as he breaks down all the techniques and strategies in a way you can easily learn them. The lessons are very well structured and all DVDs compliment the others. Everything is covered from equipment to basic and advanced techniques so I must say this series offers a complete package on Boxing which is what I have been searching for and finally found with this set. The best thing is besides the physical routines, the lessons open your eyes as to how sophisticated and technical the sport of boxing really is. Boxing is a game of chess and to succeed Coach Getz teaches you to be a smart fighter as well as a fit fighter. The series is a total package with hundreds of techniques, tips and strategies that can make anyone who studies them a complete fighter. A++ Very good investment!

I used some of the techniques from this video in my mma class with immediate results. I went from getting my face tagged multiple times during sparring practice, to being able to cover up very effectively. Even people who went 'brawl' during practice, were having a hard time connecting(think Butterbean)! In addition, there are some really good drills to perfect your technique. The jab and catch, one of the most basic of drills, is essential to improve on. In martial arts, a Sensei may say, "after 10,000 repetitions, you will have mastered that move". There is a great deal of common sense in that statement and practiced enough, moves like the jab and catch, will become instinctual.

Of course, you will get out of it what you put into it and to synopsize this review, I see a lot of potential with the technique Chris Getz put into this DVD.
