I just got a copy of Cold Steel's "More Proof" DVD, and found it to be highly entertaining. In it, there is a chapter called "The Warrior's Edge", which deals with training for knife combat. I have to admit, it looked interesting to me. I was looking forward to viewing some video instruction on knife fighting, but it turned out to be just an ad for the DVD set Cold Steel sells.
I went to the Cold Steel website to find out a little bit more about "The Warrior's Edge" DVD's - they want $250 for the set! Now, MAYBE if Bruce Lee had produced a multiple volume DVD set on Jeet Kune Do, I'd buy it at that price.
I think Lynn Thompsom probably does have considerable knowledge about knives and the fighting arts. But, let's be serious, the man is seriously overweight. There is no way that guy could go one round in the ring with a good fighter - I sparred two guys in the last week, and I probably weight 100 lbs. less than Mr. Thompson and am in way better shape, and I'm spent after just two rounds! In other words, I have serious doubts about anyone who considers themselves a fighting expert (he says he's the head instructor) who is that obviously out of shape. It's true that a knife fight can be over in seconds and stamina not come into play. But, think about some of the people that you know can kick some buttocks. Was Bruce Lee, Ali, Gracie, etc., that out of shape?
At any rate, has anyone actually seen this DVD series? What were your impressions?
