Excellent supplement for"Play the Brazilian Way"

If you love to play soccer;
If you love Brazilian football;
If you've read Simon Clifford's"Play the Brazilian Way",
this is an excellent material for you.

I have already read the book"Play the Brazilian Way". However, only text descriptions and few static pictures won't help me to learn more on the moves. Fortunately, in this DVD, Simon Clifford, together with his students, beautifully demonstrated various of skills and Brazilian moves. It is definitely helpful for you to learn and practice from those vivid samples.

In addition, there are several extra short clips at the end of the program, which included interviews with famous players, like Zico, Juninho, Ronaldo, R. Carlos, etc. Quite fruitful.

"returning fly fisher"

"Inspirational" I used to fly fish some years back and have recently reaquainted myself with the sport. Cannot say I ever caught many fish as I was basically self taught. Came across Hywel's DVD's whilst surfing, bought"the main course" and pretty soon"just desserts", they have revolutionised my techniques, casting and all other aspects. If you are a novice or an acomplished fly fisher, I feel sure you will find something to educate or improve your fishing; whether it's from tying a knot, to casting a double haul. Brilliant, tight lines.

Good Game

I am pleased to say that we played this interactive DVD on Christmas Day and it kept everyone quiet and happy for ages. It was brilliant for all of the family as well as the die-hard Top Gear fans.

Sober, good"follow me" course

I really like the no-nonsense approach of this DVD. The shifu shows the exercises and tells you how to synchronize breathing and movement. It's the 'follow me' approach to qi gong and martial arts. Try to follow the shifu's moves as closely as you can and you'll discover the rest for yourself.

It's excellent for people like me who are looking for a dynamic stretching exercise that calms the mind as well.

Some parts of the warm-up routine should be labelled: 'these stretches are done by an advanced martial artist, don't try this at home'. This is why I only give four stars. All in all the routine is short, so it would have been easy to add a beginner's routine or tips on how to substitute some stretches.

Seve, a video feast.

I loved this video, as it showed clips of his genius from his very early days to his sad retirement from the game in 2007.

As an ardent Seve watcher, I have viewed a lot of the action before, however there are still many amazing shots which I had not seen at all. On the other hand, I still have not seen on video his miraculous fairway bunker shot with a 3 wood at the 18th hole in the 1983 Ryder Cup to halve his match with Fuzzy Zoeller.
I was hoping to see it as it is described enough by friends and in many book and magazine articles. Where is the clip? Help!

However, this DVD is great value and I would also recommend that Seve's newly published autobiography would compliment this DVD very well for any true golf lover.

There is a scene where Seve tries to copy his younger days as he endeavours to get his leg over a wall to enter his local golf club. Priceless!!

The Legacy of the Greatest of all.

I will thank the WWE for bringing this out and reminding current WWE fans how good wrestling was then and how bad it is now. Also for showing them how good Austin was on the mic without the fans shouting"What" every five seconds and ruining his mic work entirely. As soon as the What chant came in Austins mic work felt forced, as he had to accommodate it, something that should never have happened. The man who turned wrestling upside down who along with The Rock, an in prime HHH, Foley and the Phenom created the greatest era of wrestling there ever was, finally has a tribute worthy. AUSTIN, AUSTIN, AUSTIN, AUSTIN!!!

Praise for the Hitman

Well, Ricky, you came but you did not conquer, but let's remember, you fought the Pound-for-Pound. How many fighters gave it some welly like you did? Mr Cortez was in that ring fighting you also, let's not forget. For those, like me, who stopped up until the wee hours of Sunday Morning to watch your charged performance, we were not disappointed. You were elbowed constantly and... The list goes on! Hail the Hitman! Keep off them pies if you're going down to light-welter, like we all want you to. Oh yes, and I recommend you all buy this DVD!

lovely stuff

If you're a WWE fan, or a fan of wrestling in the past 10+ years or so, this DVD should be a definite purchase. With 9hrs of highlight material showing 15 years of great moments it's hard to not recommend. Everything that should've been included on this DVD has been. Nothing has been left out. The UK version also comes with a 4th ("bonus") dvd of the first Monday Night Raw in 1993. Yeah OK, it's not essential but it sweetens the deal. Purchase this DVD.

Kick start your fitness regime with Mr M!

I bought this dvd to kick start my fitness regime but hardly use it anymore because I don't find it challenging enough. Saying that, it's great when you haven't got long to exercise (each section lasts only 7 minutes) and you can combine various sections and get a fairly good workout.
My main criticism would be that it feels like you're forever stopping and starting so it's hard to really get going. The pyramid workouts are pretty challenging however, especially the second one. I also like the soca calypso sections because you learn some good dance moves. It takes a while to get the hang of though!
Overall I think this is a great dvd to ease you in to a regular fitness regime. It's very easy to adapt to a busy lifestyle and the exercises really work. One thing I notice is that most of Mr Motivator's moves are adopted in other fitness dvd's like Natalie Cassidy's. Mr Motivator is a very reliable and trusted instructor. I only wish that he'd bring out a more challenging dvd or that some of his old VHS workouts be converted to dvd format. He's the original and best!

Excellent veiwing for anyone interested in motorcycles

It's a little American, a little dated, and a little bit contrived at times. None of this detracts from the place in motorcycling lore that this film became. It is made by people that care about motorcycling in a way that most have forgotten today - there's nothing judgemental about any particular style of bike or branch of motorcycling sport. Instead, you get a view of how bikes became part of our culture and, to many people, even a way of life.

Treat yourself to some biking history. Especially good if you don't get to ride your bike in the winter months!

Barefoot Doctor Tai Chi Workout - Exercises for Deep Relaxation

I have been following Tai Chi for a long time and have bought a few Tai Chi DVDs in my time, including, recently, the Paul Lam DVD"Tai Chi Exercises for Deep Relaxation" - which is also quite good.

Barefoot Doctor's style is entertaining, witty and informative. The best way to use this DVD, is to play it from start to finish -- and allowing yourself to learn more at each stage. It is divided into various sections, which take you in greater and greater detail into the movements. The movements are very simple and are great for stress relief. After watching the DVD through twice, you will be very comfortable with the movements and you will really feel the benefits almost immediately. The class section, goes into further detail, allowing you to take more time learning the body positions for each movement... then finally the last section allows you to do the whole routine with Barefoot. If you are often stressed, low in energy or just need something to boost your health and vitality, then this DVD on Tai Chi is certainly for you... it leaves you with a wonderful deep relaxation, that carries forward with you into the day.

Nicely shot, well paced and with great music -- courtesy of Barefoot Beats, which I presume is Barefoot Doctor's music.

Thoroughly recommended for anyone who wants a good workout, suitable for all ages, abilities or health levels. I think it is superb, and am really enjoying the benefits. Great for AM or PM, this is a classic.

I loved watching this DVD, but then realised it is identical in content
It's okay though as I'm going to send one to my dad in England for his birthday and I'll still be able to see players like Freddie Truman, Typhoon Tyson and the greatest batman of them all----the Babe Ruth of Cricket, Sir Donald Bradman. He's Australian by the way, so no tea and crumpets for him.
You also get to see Ian Botham, the closest thing to a lion you'll ever see playing cricket, and the mighty West Indies sides that included Gary Sobers, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards and some incredible fast bowlers----like having two or three Roger Clemens (at his best) pitching for the same team. This is great history.
