"I think the program is brilliant. It's a tremendous use of technology.Ā Bruce is probably better suited than anyone else in the US to address this topic.Ā Good technical instruction is hard to come by in Aikido on video, There are lots of videos that are demonstration type videos that SHOW stuff but few that have good explanation. These videos from Bruce are very clear and should be followed by anyone with a decent basics background.Ā Excellent stuff."
