2.0 out of 5 stars Almost a dollar a minute, April 7, 2003

By A Customer

I purchased this video after a visit to Oahu and a talk with a practitioner of Lua I met on the Island. I was interested in getting a flavor of the art and ordered the video. One thing to know is that the video is approximately 32 minutes in length, so it is on the short side. Covered in the video are a handful of empty handed and weapon techniques. Each of the techniques are described, demonstrated step-by-step, and then done at real speed. Along with the techniques, you are given a brief narrative about the art and each of the weapons demonstrated. All of the weapons are traditional Hawaiian wooden weapons.

You can see the devestating nature of the "bone breaking" reputation of Lua, but you are only shown what has to be a very small portion of the art. If the tape had been longer I would have been happy to give it a much higher rating, but I was slightly disappointed at the brevity. I did get a flavor for the art, but wish that I had got the full meal deal with the tape.
