Hey all, I just picked up "Filipino Weapons Training Vol 1&2" by Ron Balicki and his wife Diana Lee Inosanto (yes, Dan Inosanto's daughter), and Filipino Knife Fighting as well.

I have only gone through and looked at the first couple lessons in the stick training and the knife figting DVD's but I have to say, of the training vids that I have picked up so far, this is one of the best I have seen. Team Balicki and Inosanto explain each lesson fully and go through the movements several times from many different angles while explaining what the purpose of the movement is for and how it would be applied in a real life situation.

Ron Balicki has trainge under Dan Inosanto for over 20 years and you can imagine Diana has trained since she was a small child so both bring nearly 50 years combined experience to the table.

No training video or DVD is a substitute for an actual instructor but this DVD set is about the closest thing to it I have found in terms of quality of instruction and presentation of subject matter.

The concepts in the DVD's are based on Filipino Kali and Jun Fan Gung Fu (JKD) as taught by Dan Inosanto and Bruce Lee.

I highly recommend these to anyone interested. You can get the set, Filipino Weapons Training Vol 1 Intermediate and Vol 2 Advanced along with Filipino Knife Fighting at www.centuryvision.com
