Good instruction, poor handling and packing
Video set was late in going out, and when it arrived, the boxed set had no box, just paper and tape wrapped acound it. One case split on opening, and two of the discs were so badly scrateched from being loose on transit as to have diffulty viewing, and required buffing. The sound quality has some issues on the transfer from videotape to dvd. Not very satisfied with the physical aspects here. However, the content is exactly what I was looking for, good explanations, multiple views, and a good basic instructional for the Kodokan system, in English.

Handling 1 star, DVD 2 stars, Content 3 stars, Custom service 4 stars.
I bought "Special Collectors Wooden Box Set", but received just 10 separate DVD's. Customer Service offers 3 options: replace, $24 refund, return for full refund. It's an international package and cost me about $35 tax and more than one week, so I prefer to keep the DVD's. Some of the discs were scratched and one was very badly. Although it can be read by my player, it has no relationship with "Special Collectors" anymore.The DVD's are not made with good quality. Lot of typos. The actual run time are much less than "498 minutes". The disks of Te Waza, Koshi Waza, Shime Waza, Kansetsu Waza are about 35 mins each.The content is very comprehensive for beginners but not very useful for advanced practicer. However it still has some valuable techniques and tricks. The Ne Waza part is quite good for modern judo practicer.
