Customer Reviews:

This is a great DVD if you are a serious grappler.......2007-03-16

I love this DVD but i must reiterrate this is for the serious grappler / grappling enthusiast. This is not for the casual wrestling / MMA fan.

GREAT STUFF!.......2003-07-03

Historic grappling matches in the richest country on the planet.

This is the ONLY tournament where you get to see the best against each other.

Tons of talent, not a lot of action.......2003-05-08

For those of you looking to see the best of the best grapplers from UFC and Pride (Ortiz, Kerr, Belfort, Hughes, Sperry etc) competing in the most prestigious submission grappling tournament in the world, this is the DVD for you. For those people looking for all these great submission experts to be placed in the greatest submission grappling tournament in the world with tons of "action", this probably isn't the DVD for you.

It's important to remember that this is a submission grappling tournament. That means the majority of the matches are going to be spent either stalking, the guard, side mount, or mounted position. If you hate these positions and want something with a faster pace, then this is not the DVD for you.

This DVD IS for:
-People who don't mind when UFC or Pride fights stay in the guard for 5+min (in this case without striking)
-People who understand the very technical aspects of grappling instead of seeing people "Just lying there"
-People who can appreciate ground grappling

This DVD is NOT for:
- People who want tons of action
- People who don't understand submission grappling strategy (position and points)
- People who look for the "ground and pound" seen in UFC and Pride
- People who hate when matches go to the ground

Review of Best of ADCC Vol #2.......2005-08-02

This DVD has pretty good action, and is entertaining for those with some background or understanding of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, submission wrestling, etc.

The quality of competitors is high, and the Royler and Machado matches were impressive.

It's too bad the DVD didn't have more matches, as some of the matches ended fairly quickly, but due to excellent technical skills, mind you.

Description

In a short period of time, the relatively new sport of "Submission Wrestling" has developed into an event that is watched the world over. Respected as the pinnacle of Martial Arts Tournaments, ABU DHABI SUBMISSION WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS!

A three day event held in the beautiful United Arab Emirites, the ADCC Championships have quickly become the Superbowl of Submission Wrestling featuring the greatest grapplers in the world. Athletes from dozens of countries around the globe, representing all the grappling arts, including Judo, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Jui Jitsu, Shooto, Sambo and other goundfighting systems compete in single elimination 16-man tournaments to decide who the best grapplers in the world are.

Shaikh Hazzah Din Zaheo and Shaikh Tahnooh Din Zaheo graciously host the grappling event that has become the most prestigious wrestling tournament in the world. Witness seven of the greatest matches in the history of the ADCC World Championships.

This DVD is considered a "classic" by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission wrestling fans and was hard to come by, until now!

This re-release features bonus never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage from ADCC 2003!!!!

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2005-10-15

I was surprised at how boring much of the dvd turned out to be. Also, the behind the scenes material was amateurish.

Jean Jac Machado looked great. That's one thing I can say for the dvd. I am a big fan of Renzo Gracie but I didn't see much here. I really can't recommend this dvd.

Not the best of the Best of ADCCs.......2004-10-13

This first side of this DVD contains several fights from the earlier Abu Dhabi events. Royler vs. Joao Roque is an excellent match. Jean Jaques Machado vs. Caol Uno is also really fun to watch. Ricardo Arona vs. Kareem Barkaleev is crazy. Other matches aren't quite as interesting, but still pretty good.

The other side of the DVD contains about 40 minutes of 'behind the scenes' footage from the 2003 Abu Dhabi event (in Brazil). It's kind of cool to watch, but could be edited and presented much better.

If you have the other two Best of ADCC DVDs, you'll know what to expect from this one. If not, get the other two first ...
