The Wheat and Chaff are Unseparated
There is some wonderful content in this comprehensive 4-DVD set; however, there are also a lot of impractical techniques.Machida offers some higly valuable information on basic, yet often-overlooked, elements of the MMA game: stance, balance, footwork and linear, non-telegraphed striking. As another reviewer has mentioned, these are the very techniques and attributes that he's used to become a champion.However, on the first two discs he also offers a whole slew of techniques and combinations that are rarely used in MMA competition.The 4th disc on the ground game is a VERY elementary primer on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Anyone with any kind of jiu-jitsu experience will find nothing new. Although, it must be said that most of the techniques on this disc have at least proven their value in actual MMA competition.The best disc in the set from front to back is the 3rd disc on intercepting attacks, distance, timing, the clinch game and takedowns. Here Machida really shows the viewer what has made him a champion, as the entire disc is packed with techniques that are slightly unorthodox, yet simple and practical.This 4-DVD set would be much improved by being cut down to 2 discs - the price could also comfortably be halved. Yet if you are a true MMA nut like I am, you will be very satisfied with the many gems of wisdom this set offers, even if you wish you didn't have to pick through quite so much roughage to find them.

One of the best Martial Arts DVD sets you can buy
This is a very good DVD set that you won't regret buying. When I saw it was on sale I bought it through Amazon via Iphone just before getting on an airplane. I didn't want to delay getting my hands on it for an instant.If you do Shotokan or ITF TKD you will be surprised by how much of the traditional footwork is part of Machida's game. He will remind you how important the basics are in the first DVD.Footwork and combo DVDs are very good and he holds nothing back. Then he shows the sweeps that he has used very effectively in his MMA career. The footwork and sweeps were probably my favorite part.He also does some groundwork, but that is the weakest part of the DVD set. It is basically a bunch of techniques thrown together. That being said they are good techniques (I've actually used one of his triangle escapes and he used it to escape from Ortiz's triangle in their match). But because it isn't put forth in a lesson plan the techniques are not too useful unless you have some groundwork as a foundation. He did a much better job at organizing the other stuff he covers in previous DVDs.I am very happy with this set and I think it is a steal at the current price. I have many other instructionals that I loan out...but not the Machida set. Those stay in my library! :)

It's a good tape set with good basic information
I was looking for a solid stiking/MMA tape set, and this was it! I was very pleased with the first two volumes of the set and am looking forward to the next two tapes. The first tape was very basic, and much of a review for me. The next lesson on volume two had some good striking combo's. I am looking forward to the last half of this set that introduces takedowns and ground and pound.
