Great Drama for the passionate basketball lover........1999-08-30

Eric "Hank" Gathers was a very dedicated basketball player from day one. He thrilled the nation in the late 80's when he took little Loyola Maramount University to the top, while leading all Division-1 athletes in scoring and rebounding his Junior Year. It was in his Senior year that the energetic Gathers suffered a minor heart attack, forcing him to sit out an unwanted period of time. Against doctors orders, he came back too early only to suffer a fatal heart attack near the end of that same season. The movie takes you through Hank's breif life from the age of eleven all the way up to his sudden death. This drama shows you how he and his best friend Bo Kimble always dreamed to make it to the NBA. Bo had it easy, always being the star; while Hank was the underdog, and had to go through many obstacles to get to the top. The year after Hank's tragic death Bo was drafted where he and Hank had always talked about being drafted...in the lottery. This is a true story.

Jeet Kune Do at a higher level.......2007-03-26

Like Jeet Kune Do, I'll keep this review simple and direct.This DVD is the best I have ever seen. If you study Jeet Kune Do or just interested in self defense get this DVD. If your only interested in self defense, you will want to study JKD after seeing this DVD. I suggest you try Sifu Strongs 4 DVD set. All 4 are JKD at a higher level.

Patrick Strong Opens the Door to Bruce Lee's World........2005-11-08

Patrick Strong does a fantastic job of breaking down and explaining the priciples that make Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do such a unique fighting style. Learning how to develop speed and power in a very small distance, is the key to becoming a dangerous "inside fighter." This DVD will teach you the drills and forms you need to develop the ability to do just that. I definately recomend this DVD to any Martial Artist interested in becoming more efficient and effective in combat.
