I hesitated before spending the money on this download when so much material is available on YouTube. However I didn't hesitate in giving it five stars! I'm very glad that I did purchase it. Loads of interesting and informative content which in my opinion is presented very well by Michael Ammar.
This is a video version of Michael Ammar's book on C&B. The same information. However, it does help to see Michael rather than just read his words. I actually recommend getting the book and the video. Together, you will learn all of the standard moves and create your own routine.
Its Michael Ammar, its classic - one of the best teachers in the world, I used to have this on VHS and purchased this for my DVD library as reference. Compared to some of the more modern DVDs this is still holds it own. Very happy!

Robert asks: Does either Ammar C&B video include Chop Cup or combo handlings?
