   Review by Shawn Kovacich for Ultimate Krav Maga DVDs: Learn the self defense system that Law Enforcement and Military units are using to help save their lives

   Well I guess I should start this review off from the beginning with my experiences concerning this DVD set long before I actually received it. So without further ado, let’s get started…

   I had pre-ordered this DVD set in October of 2009 directly from the producers and was initially told that it would be available by Christmas. Christmas came and went and still I hadn’t received it. I then received notification that there had been a delay in the post production work and that the release date had been changed. This happened on three separate occasions. Now I know you are wondering what this really has to do with the contents of this DVD set and believe me it does, although not directly.

   Finally in March of 2009 I received my copy as I had been one of the first ones to pre-order it, and let me tell you all the delays were definitely worth it, not only because of the fantastic amount of quality information that it contained, but also because of the outstanding customer service that I received throughout the entire time I pre-ordered this DVD set until I actually received it. Not only is the actual quality of the content top notch, but so is the producers of this DVD. And for that they deserve some recognition for their outstanding service, as well as, the outstanding product that they have produced.

   This DVD set has to be one of the best packaged multiple disc sets I have ever purchased and this includes Hollywood boxed sets of movies and TV series. I don’t know how many times I have had loose discs or damaged discs in multiple disc boxed sets. You won’t have that problem here! My set came with every disc well seated in their respective places and foam sheets between each disc and the next. There is absolutely no rattling of discs and the discs are in pristine condition, which is quite the accomplishment especially when shipping by our wonderful mailing system. (Okay, slight amount of sarcasm.)

   Now I am not going to go overboard on describing exactly what each disc contains, although I will emphatically state the following…

   “As the owner of numerous DVD’s on Krav Maga, self-defense, and other related subjects, you would be VERY hard pressed to find a more QUALITY and CONTENT driven set of DVD’s on Krav Maga or any other reality based self-defense subject anywhere at this particular time and at this price.”

   Here is a basic overall look at what to expect on each disc and should be self-explanatory.

   DISC ONE (approximate running time 81 minutes)

   This disc is instructed by Duncan Robert Pattle and is entitled; “Your First Defense: Awareness, Movement, Common Objects & Combatives Training.”

   DISC TWO (approximate running time 86 minutes)

   This disc is also includes guest instructor John Whitman and is entitled; “Your Natural Response to Danger: Defenses Against Holds and Grabs.”

   DISC THREE (approximate running time 112 minutes)

   This disc is instructed by Duncan Robert Pattle and guest instructor Amnon Darsa and is entitled; “On the Street You Can’t Tap Out: Surviving Street Fights Standing and On the Ground.”

   DISC FOUR (approximate running time 76 minutes)

   This disc is also includes guest instructor Eyal Yanilov and is entitled; “Surviving Deadly Weapons: Defenses Against Handguns, Long Guns, Knives & Clubbing Weapons.”

   DISC FIVE (approximate running time 17 minutes)

   This disc is also includes guest instructors Vladislav Shut and Ian A. Novotny and is entitled; “Injury Prevention: Dynamic and Static Stretching.”

   This set also includes some special features including; Hostage Gun/Knife techniques, aggression drills and/or pressure drills, and two interviews about Krav Maga founder Imi Lichtenfeld by Eyal Yanilov and John Whitman.

   I can not recommend this DVD set highly enough and would strongly encourage anyone interested in Krav Maga or any other form of self-defense and/or martial art to purchase it immediately and study it continuously in order to get out of it everything that it has to offer, which is quite a considerable amount of quality information.

   Here are a few other Krav Maga items that I also highly recommend.
