Summary: This is better than Rickson Gracie, "Choke" DVD
Review: I saw this on HBO when it first aired. Being a true fan of MMA and someone who trains in MMA, I can honestly say this is a master piece. It shows the inside and outside of MMA world to those who do not understand what MMA is all about. MMA has become a true sports and the movie such as this one will expose MMA in a positive way to the public and help shave off that negative image of brutal bloody fights back when UFC first began.
MMA has evolved so much in the last 10 years. It took boxing almost 100 years to do what MMA has done in the last 10 years.
It's a legit sports now and it keeps getting better and bigger around the world. Thus if you want to know what MMA(mixed martial arts) is about, I highly recommend this dvd and you'll understand why MMA atheletes are the ultimate athletes in the world....

Summary: The best of the best!!!
Review: I was so happy to see such an outstanding documentary on such a superb and outstanding athlete. Mark Kerr is by far the best MMA fighter out there, and this awesome documentary sort of brings him and the mma world into the light. I love this dvd and definitely recommend it above anything else.

Summary: Interesting guy, boring DVD
Review: I've watched a lot of different 'real' fighting events, and Mark Kerr is one of the better performers. These guys work just as hard as pro-wrestlers, and take a lot more blows because most of these things are unscripted. And at the end of the day they don't make much money for their trouble. However the fact is this DVD will have you yawning in about 10 minutes. I can't really reccomend it.

Summary: Gritty Reality
Review: MMA or Ultimate Fighting as most know it by is as "in your face" as any sport can be. The sport for the most part has been criticized for it's violent nature, rather praised for the incredible athletes risking everything for the glory of competition. This DVD follows Mark Kerr who was at his peak was the best fighter in MMA. This incredible documentary follows Kerr's life leading up to his eventual fall from fighting and personal grace. The demons and distractions that accompany a mythical titan like Kerr tear at him as he deals with just getting by.
The most compelling thing for myself was seeing these warriors who I admire and respect just being themselves. At times athletes are placed into super-hero status and we never seem to link them to everyday life. Once the show is over the all too real problems of drug addiction and supporting a family are brought forward.
Above all a for a MMA fan like myself, this Documentary as a whole makes me appreciate the sport even more so. Behind the scenes and intriguing without a doubt.

Summary: Outstanding representation of a Shakespearean tragedy
Review: Outstanding story of the rise, fall and attempted resurrection of Mark Kerr's career as a professional fighter. Mark's willingness to allow a film crew to follow him in his ups and downs, as well as his honesty of emotions makes for a gripping tale. Other famous fighters are weaved into the story, including Mark Coleman, Ricco Rodriguez and Bas Rutten.
You see the enormous highs of victory, as well as the training to get there. There's the downsides as well, as you see Mark slide into drug addiction and relationship hell. Heavy stuff.
It's easy to generalize about these fighters. He's too nice to fight. He's a psycho. He's a drug addict. He just needs to dump his girlfriend. But in the end you're left with a contradictory individual. It's a struggle, but you find yourself rooting for him in the end.
The bonus tracks added quite a bit. 30 minutes of Renzo Gracie's life was a great surprise, and the director's voice over makes the entire video worth watching twice.
Very well done!

Summary: The human underbelly of the "Smashing Machine" Kerr
Review: Straight up, this DVD is not for people who are adversely affected at the sight of human faces audibly and visibly smashed in by really scary 400 lb punches (Kerr's) , vicious knees and elbows to the head, and blood-spattered mats. The fact that people like watching this kind of thing attests to the fact that we are not evolutionarily too distant from the patrons of gladiator sports in roman times.And gladiatorial this certainly is. Kerr is quite a revelation, for someone so merciless in the ring. He shows a disarmingly vulnerable aspect of himself with his relationship and substance abuse problems. He admits to being physically sick from anxiety before his first MMA-Mixed Martial Arts-contest. Therefore he turns to painkillers, et al to allay his constant anxiety, finally turning addict. He talks about how alive , in-the-moment and spiritual this mode of combat makes him feel. His combination of tremendous physical strength, high pain threshold, skilfull takedowns, heavy punching, and great flexibility - all point to a fantastic genetic soup. Looking at him in action, I wondered if there could be any other activity at which he so excelled. For Kerr, this is his "bliss"...and there are enough of these creatures around to have an actual, sponsored sport! (...) I guess, for those who dare, there can be no physical high greater than a full-contact bout. The documentary is great, but Kerr is not my favourite fighter. That would be Don "The Predator" Frye. From the non-violent styles, I love Royce Gracie's amazing victories. Check them out if you haven't already.

Review: Straight up, this DVD is not for those who would be adversely affected at the sight of human faces audibly smashed in by scary 400 lb punches, vicious knees and elbows to the head, and blood-spattered mats.
The DVD offers gladiatorial blood-and-guts fighting served up inside a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) setting.
For someone so merciless in the ring Kerr is quite a revelation outside it. He shows a disarmingly vulnerable aspect of himself with his relationship and substance abuse problems. He admits to having been physically sick from anxiety before his first MMA fight. He turned to painkillers to allay this constant anxiety, finally turning addict. He talks about how alive, in-the-moment and spiritual this mode of combat makes him feel. His combination of tremendous physical strength, high pain threshold, skilfull takedowns, heavy punching, and great flexibility - all point to a fantastic genetic soup.
For those who dare, there can be no physical high greater than a full-contact bout.
