4 out of 5 stars Excellent for what it is.......2007-03-08

I found this DVD to be excellent study material for what it is .... a DVD. It covers a lot of the basics of the weapon and goes over the introductory kata fairly thoroughly. Mr. Alexander is obviously a good instructor and very knowledgeable about his subject matter. However, it is still a DVD and the video is a bit grainy though it's of enough quality to get the point across. Also a DVD won't ever replace a competent instructor. After all,You can't really ask it questions, now can you? A good buy if you already have a solid background as a student or instructor of the martial arts.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent base for training.......2005-04-06

With little to no martial arts experience (let alone weapon experience) I bought this DVD because I was drawn to the weapon. Within 3 days of watching the basics, I felt ready to start practicing the kata shown in this tape. Mr. Alexander breaks things down very systematically and cuts no corners. The descriptions of basic attacks and blocks are clear and precise. I've already ordered vol. II because this volume made me feel extremely confident in the way I handle the Bo, even as a rookie.
