This is 'slight' because I can't find my copy or my notes. Anyhow, this 50 min tape from Unique Publications is part of the newer series by the late Ted Lucaylucay. For reference, this is the tape with a red/green cover.
Lucaylucay shows grips, applications, basic hits like many others.
Along with 2 assistants, you see a brief overview of hitting and replacing footwork at different ranges and some accuracy drills.
A good 10 min. demonstrates about 5 double stick striking drills.
There is a 5 min. section on blocks and disarms with some full contact gear.
There is a brief section on knife drills, showing basic grips and double/triple checking (using forearm, elbow to control the opponent's limb) as well as a knife disarms. One of which is covered in less detail by Kazeka Muniz. (Brazilian Street Fighting)
The final section covers Kali empty hands concepts showing Lucaylucay dealing with empty hand strikes but basically back and forehand chops ending into locks, strikes, chokes.
Okay, a long time ago I saw the Lucaylucay JKD series basically the weapons and trapping hands tapes. A young Jeff Imada assisting on the latter. On the weapons tape of that series we saw a few differences.
Parrying in the JKD tape was taught like a karate knifehand block. You would duck on the inside while parrying with edge of your hand, then springing up to counterattack. There was a short but subtle balisong/knife section on that tape too.
This tape has better overall production (sound, background, organization, mult. camera angles) and contains much of the same content as parts of the Inosanto series (basic hits and double stick drills). The double checking hand was unique; I haven't seen it on any other tape. The disarms make good watching but practicality is a personal issue particularly with the knife.
This is good for beginning intermediate students, not beginners but people with some training. This strength is also a weakness on basics. Many of you know what "watiks", "redondos", etc., are and their use. Well, nobody takes too much time to explain what they are really on a tape. You see it done at lightspeed and have to figure out what happened. The double/triple checking of this tape would be hard to do for a beginner as well. Again, this is either good or bad depending on your view.
It's not my favorite tape and I zip thru the sinawalli every time. Again, a good intermediate tape and possibly a bargain to the Inosanto series.
