Title: Fear No Man! Jujutsu DVD
Review: I got this DVD, primarily, because it was inexpensive. The content is OK, basic. I've studied just enough Japanese JJ to know this instructor is qualified. You can argue about whether or not his techniques would work under duress -- an argument you could make with any martial art -- but what he is teaching is standard Japanese JJ. Like any other martial arts DVD, you can pick up some good techniques and ignore what you think doesn't work.The production quality, lighting, sound, is pretty amateur, as if the instructor borrowed a friend's video camera and shot everything on a Saturday morning. It's not bad enough to be a distraction though, and you are able to see the moves. But this is clearly low-budget.Biggest complaint: The title: "Fear No Man!" is as dumb as it is arrogant, and that is a dangerous combination. After watching this DVD, if you honestly feel that you can "fear no man" then you should book a room in advance at your nearest ICU.
