Finally, someone understands! Although a regretful reality of our 21st century lifestyle, most of us can not (with any true sense of certainty) make “plans” more than a day or two in advance, so why would anyone think we could make a sincere commitment to attend classes, three times a week, at a predetermined location and time that was instituted without seeking our input.

Morning,I have had a chance to look over the DVD's and also to look at several of the files online regarding the DLP. First off let me say that there is a good deal of material which is presented more than once. Several of the videos contain material which can be found in others as well. However, I do not view this as a bad thing as it only serves to reinforce the training. I found the quality of the videos to be very good, especially when one considers that they are not "professionally" produced in a controlled environment like a studio. I do see how they seem to be geared more towards those with some experience and may not be the most suitable for a complete beginner. Not because the material is not there, but because often a beginner will have a myriad of questions regarding leg placement, hand movements and power generation which are not covered in great detail. However, this is one of the drawbacks of learning from video, you often miss things because you fail to grasp the nuances. All of this can be rectified with the occasional training with a senior in the art. Coming from a Wing Chun background, I found the material to be presented in, what was to me, a very nice understandable way. While I still have questions, I believe that my body will, through practice, answer many of those questions for me. Plus, visiting and training with Guru Derric will doubtless keep me on track. It is hard to realize right off just how much material is actually presented in the DLP DVD's. It is kind of like mining for gold. Sometimes you miss what is right in front of you until you go back again and again. All in all I would highly recommend the DLP to others and will do so as I feel it covers a lot of material and is presented in an easily understood fashion. Also, the presentation is very laid back and you can see that those in the art enjoy life.
