![]() Who should get this set? Obviously anyone who does FMA empty hand work (like I say, the array of drills is astonishing), anyone who does a kickboxing system and wants to learn more combative type material, or anyone who does a TMA striking system who wants to explore more functional training methodologies. You probably need DVDs on Panantukan, Sikaran, Dumog, Hubud and Kino Mutai, and THEN an advanced set on combining them. The individual skillsets are all supposed to be combined and there's just such a vast amount of stuff. I'd say the only thing I was disappointed with was the attached striking aspect, but then I suppose this is a problem with any FMA set. There are enough drills here to teach a class for a good 2 years If you're watching the whole set then the fact that the drills are all structured the same can make it a little samey, but it didn't detract to such a degree that I lost interest. The drills were ALL useful, no filler or dubious techniques, and the sheer volume of quality information is staggering. I really enjoyed this set, and found it very informative. In the first couple of disks there is a definite Muay Thai flavour to some of Sullivan's movements, but that seems to wear off by the later disks. Production quality is high, Sullivan's delivery is clear and engaging, and his students are clearly skilled with nice clean technique. Kickboxing combinations mixed with knees, elbows and headbutts, Waslik, Gunting and Siko entries, Dumog entries and footsweeps, and a collection of finger jabs, claws and rips, footstomps and groin shots. The technique drills are interspersed with "blitz" drills, high volume punching drills which just have demonstration with instructions called out.Ĭontent wise it's what you'd probably expect from what I've already said. The drills have that Inosanto JKD flavour, they're pretty much all entry-set up-flurry-finish, and the delivery is always instruction-review-live demo. Personally I'd have liked to see some more attached striking work (just because that's what I like :evil: ) but I can understand why they went this route with what they were trying to achieve. It deals with the kickboxing phase almost exclusively, there are some drills which go to the ground and do ground punching, but by and large the Dumog is used to change angle or level to facilitate striking. The set is primarily a collection of Panantukan pad drills, it's pretty much all focus mitt work, and you will need a grasp of basic boxing technique to use this set. I got this a couple of weeks ago and I've just finished watching it (it's nearly 5 hours on 4 DVDs), so I thought I'd write a review. ![]()
