This gentlemen may come off as a snake oil salesmen to some. However, he is genuinely sincere in his quest to improve martial arts learning methods.

I'd have to feel it to pass judgement, but focusing on core principles can go a long way.

This guy isn't kidding and the outrageous almost laughable claims he makes are real. I know because I was sitting there reading and watching this same over the top stuff right where you are.
This guy didn't just dedicate his life to learning the arts themselves (but believe me he did do that) his dedicated his life to TEACHING the arts. He learned through teaching and so every gain of understanding he made during his 40+ years of martial arts was also an improvement in teaching the same.

I have studied Aikido for 19 years and have devoted countless hours to it. I have been able to train students in only a few classes a firm grasp of the basics by concentrating on principles rather than techniques. I have never thought of using a matrix or a concrete system, before. I would like to see this in action.

Having studied aikido for longer than I care to admit, I watched this clip and actually ordered these DVDs...
I have to say these clips DON'T do the DVDs justice... BUT the fact after just 80 minutes these guys can apply the concepts that were covered is true testimate to the lesson.
I cannot say that anyone walking out of their first aikido class could do what these guys are doing on the fly.
Of course it doesn't LOOK like stylized aikido, but I have to compliment Al on his DVDs.

He's showing them some basic principals as an introduction, you got to give credit to this guy he's dedicated his life to his art.
Now he's passing on the knowledge give hime some positive feedback, eh?

great stuff!
It's too bad that people have so much time on their hands as to spend their time knocking others. I think Al Case has done a great job in devoting himself to making martial arts easier to learn. Hey, let's face it, if you wanted to learn how to swim would you sign on with an instructor that told you that in order to master floating on your back it would take 7 years at $125 dollars a month on contract? Or a tennis instructor that tells you that the 'How To Serve' course is three years?

The sign of a good instructor is one that can help you progress as quick as possible, and that's in any endeavor, not just the arts. I've been in the arts for over thirty years and Al Case is the kind of instructor I would have wanted in the 70's when I started. I would have saved a lot of time, money, and money.
