Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Real World Kung fu
Review: Ancient Chinese martial arts are revealed in this important documentary that is always intriguing and never pandering. A well-conceived discussion with excellent commentary from noted scholar David Bannon, Ph.D. and interviews of some of the finest LEGITIMATE kung fu masters alive. A rare look into the real world of Kung fu from those who know it best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST KUNGFU DOCUMENTARY
Review: For anyone who loves a well-crafted documentary, history, philosophy or the martial arts. Director Jim Grapek delivers a deceptively simple and powerful documentary on the development of ancient Chinese martial arts. His profiles of living masters are carefully lensed in a way that shows his contagious enthusiasm for martial arts as philosophy and mental/physical discipline. Significantly, he never forces his points with heavy narration or over-simplified extremist comments. He allows the masters to tell their stories, seamlessly weaving in support information that intrigues and convinces without the glitz or ridiculous claims of some martial arts shows.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not so good.
Review: INSTEAD OF SHOWING SOME OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE TO AMERICA,THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE TO CHINA TO INTERVIEW CHINESE MASTERS.THERE ARE PLENTY OF STYLES IN CHINA THAT THEY CAN SHOW BUT NOT.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DVD.YOU WON'T FIND SO MUCH INFORMATION (EXCEPT IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF MARTIAL ARTS)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Badly formated
Review: The DVD wasn't made correctly. I have an all region DVD player and the DVD kept stopping every couple of seconds.
