Product Description
In a short period of time, the relatively new sport of "Submission Wrestling" has developed into an event that is watched the world over. Respected as the pinnacle of Martial Arts Tournaments, ABU DHABI SUBMISSION WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS!

A three day event held in the beautiful United Arab Emirites, the ADCC Championships have quickly become the Superbowl of Submission Wrestling featuring the greatest grapplers in the world. Athletes from dozens of countries around the globe, representing all the grappling arts, including Judo, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Jui Jitsu, Shooto, Sambo and other goundfighting systems compete in single elimination 16-man tournaments to decide who the best grapplers in the world are.

Shaikh Hazzah Din Zaheo and Shaikh Tahnooh Din Zaheo graciously host the grappling event that has become the most prestigious wrestling tournament in the world. Witness seven of the greatest matches in the history of the ADCC World Championships.

This DVD is considered a "classic" by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission wrestling fans and was hard to come by, until now!

This re-release features bonus never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage from ADCC 2003!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of the Best of ADCCs, October 12, 2004

By	Jeff S. Meszaros (Winnipeg, MB, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This first side of this DVD contains several fights from the earlier Abu Dhabi events. Royler vs. Joao Roque is an excellent match. Jean Jaques Machado vs. Caol Uno is also really fun to watch. Ricardo Arona vs. Kareem Barkaleev is crazy. Other matches aren't quite as interesting, but still pretty good.

The other side of the DVD contains about 40 minutes of 'behind the scenes' footage from the 2003 Abu Dhabi event (in Brazil). It's kind of cool to watch, but could be edited and presented much better.

If you have the other two Best of ADCC DVDs, you'll know what to expect from this one. If not, get the other two first ...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, January 6, 2009

By	SSG MICHAEL J GOSS (Corpus Christi, Texas) - See all my reviews

Not a bad production... The Arona fight was cool to watch... not to mention the never before seen footage of Eddie Bravo backstage... also that I learned a new escape from the half guard LOL...

All in all not bad... and I bought this new for 10.25 so I really cant complain....

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting matches, a bit expensive. , January 8, 2008

By	Edwin Fragoso (New York, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for the Royler vs. Joao Roque match and, to that extent, I was not disappointed. Everything else left me feeling a bit cheated; specifically, as was previously mentioned, the quality of the production.
