Audio and video are both excellent! Superb productions values - among the best we've seen. Easily rivaling anything you'd expect out of a top-notch production house.

The two instructors (one with a very MINOR accent - not an issue at all) speak on camera or voice over giving smoothly delivered information and instructions. Not a bunch of filler and mood music. Most of the DVD gets right to the point in a very professional manner.

Very nice introduction to the ideas behind Krav Maga (a tiny bit slow at the beginning - but just because the concepts are being explained). Clear demonstrations and step-by-step "how-to" for strikes (hands, knees, elbows, kicks) and blocks.

The techniques are explained well enough for a beginner to at least start work on their own (though it's a bit of a reach to develop a side-kick on your own - they do give it a good effort). If you don't have any access to a Krav Maga studio, this would DEFINTELY be a good way to get a handle on the techniques.

The DVD is very heavy on the techniques themselves - not much on tactics or strategy (but that's not what it's about - and that's not the kind of thing that's really specific to a "style").

Technically and content-wise, this series of DVDs is REALLY top-notch. Even trying to be super critical, there really isn't anything they could have done better. No compromises on quality, just an all around great DVD.
