Any good Martial Arts videos or DVDs?

I don't mean movies. But instructional videos.





I want to learn a new MA (Used to do Aikido) but I get off work after the usual closing hours of Dojos and classes in my neighborhood (Torrance, CA). I work on my heavy bag 3 times a week but Aikido did not really teach me striking.


Any good videos or DVD you guys know of that can teach the basics of striking (punch/kick/knee) on the heavy bag? Preferably kung fu or kickboxing. Boxing is fine but I really do want to learn kicks too. Thanks!

Budokan is the only martial arts training video I know of. The technique is more sport than fighting, but it's something.
Reply:Kung Fu Hustle
Reply:why dont you take a kung fu class?





if you want to learn at home, then simply...http://www.totalvid.com/Kung-Fu-Videos
Reply:Try Hapkido classes...I take both Hapkido and Aikido...Hapkido will work you out well with kicks, strikes, and some basic JJ.
Reply:I highly recommend Russian Systema. Check out www.russianmartialart.com. There are videos with sample clips of each one. Your Aikido experience will give an appreciation to this art. There are tons of exercises and training you can do from home including many forms of striking. As for learning kicks... my personal preference is based in Tae Kwon Do but I also like Muy Thai (hip displacement is different). I will say to kick well and without injury a video will not suffice. Maybe you could make a friend from one of the local schools who could help with proper form and give you a training partner. If you decide to go with a kicking video just remember to listen to your body... if it doesn't feel right it probably isn't. Hope this helps and I wish you the best.
