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!

As noted by other reviewers, the production values are not that great for a set this expensive, but the instruction and drills are priceless. Christopher Getz provides comprehensive instruction in boxing with HEAVY emphasis on fundamentals throughout. The breakdowns for movement, punches, combinations and defense are solid and well taught. Each volume in the 8 DVD set builds from the previous one, so I highly recommend the full set over the individual volumes.

The lessons themselves are top notch and worth 5 stars. Amateur DVD production knocks it down to 4.

The production values are not like those of The Lord of the Rings movies, but the picture and sound are clear enough, and the content is excellent. Getz explains all the facets of boxing thoroughly, and everything is illustrated with excellent analogies (useful when you're in the ring and can only remember a few key points) and demonstrations. He is particularly good on the mechanics of footwork and punching. Absolutely worth the money.

I just received the 8 DVD set and have watched a few of the DVD's.
I am very happy and impressed by the quality of instruction and the depth of instruction.
This is a great DVD set for learning boxing from the ground up. I can highly recommend!

As other posts have noted, the production quality is low. That is, it does not have the feel of being filmed by a professional editor or film crew. But thats ok, I wasn't buying it for that reason. I was looking for excellent instruction and thats just what I got.
I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I ordered this series and was a little concerned by all the comments about it being "low production quality". I was pleasantly suprised to find out the production quality on this series is WAYYYY better than every other boxing dvd instruction video i've bought. It's really very nice. The guy speaks very well and clear and it's obvious he's a very intelligent and knowledgeable guy when it comes to boxing.

Now this isn't some million dollar slickly produced hollywood video........but most of those i've bought when it came to sports instruction, sucked anyway.

For it's purpose and content, it is outstanding. By far the best Boxing series i've bought. The price is a bit steep, but well wort it.

And the best part, this series is literally packed with information from beginning to end. And he starts with the basic fundamentals and builds on that.

5 stars all the way on this series.

Coach Getz gives us the inside scoop on what it takes to be a well-rounded, complete boxer. If you want fancy graphics, loud music, and a lot of tough-guy talk, then look elsewhere. But if you want solid, detailed information about boxing in all its aspects, then this is the instructional series for you.

If every boxing trainer was as articulate and thoughtful as Christopher Getz, boxers would not develop the glaring technique deficiencies that we see in so many fighters. Coach Getz's step by step approach leaves nothing to chance. If you take his lessons to heart, you'll reach your full potential.

In the review of this product at heavyfists dot com, you can read a description of the contents of each disk. Also, you can view a 10 minute sample video cut from the first DVD entitled "fundamentals". In the sample, coach Getz presents part of his left hook lesson.

I highly recommend this series; other than Kenny Weldon's fine series of introductory lessons, this one stands alone.

Coach Chris Getz and his 8 d.v.d. box set on Boxing

A must have for anyone who wants to box. You can learn a lot from being at a Gym for sure, but you can also get lost in the shuffle. Not so with these d.v.d.s)
With ultimate boxing lessons the drills, tips,and concepts are well explained. They are designed to teach the skills properly and creatively with each lesson building on the next.

Punches are taught and shown from every possible angle, the targets are explained, how to utilize each punch is explained. Footwork, bag work, counter punching, defensive techniques, focus mitts, ring strategy are taught and explained in a similar methodical fashion. Bonus material are the workouts and the adaptation of boxing techniques for self defense.
Methodical but fun. Boxing skills are skills, so they need some repetition to master. You will become a master if you follow the instruction.

Many drills can be done with a partner, but you can still learn quite a lot even if you do not have anyone to work with.
Chris is an excellent teacher, the video production is not flashy, not unlike other boxing videos I have seen. Still the shooting is good for two reasons, the camera person knows where to focus, and how to package the lesson.
There is so much information in these videos bottom line.
Mr. Getz definitely loves to teach and this is plain to see in his presentations, he does not have any axe to grind or big ego. Even someone with two left feet will do well with his videos, he explains and teaches that well. Great for trainers as well. You will not be sorry if you get the box set!

This is a great instructional set, for sure the best one out there.

There are tons of great MMA and Jiu-Jitsu instructionals available but Boxing seems to be few and far between. This set has some great tips to polish up your basics but also some ring strategy and a lot of drills to improve your footwork and punching ability.

If you are looking to learn some new tricks and accelerate your learning curve this instructional is for sure worth the money.

I am really glad i purchased this DVD set, it contains so much information you need to know about boxing. it's a great value.
