Arguably the priciest martial arts DVD's ever.

For a while there I was waiting for P. Zaichik's DVD on kicking to be released.
He has many good tips on youtube and I want both the information that he has to offer and to support him. Few days ago this video was up on youtube.

I went over to preorder. Hmmmm I am not cheap and thankfully at a point in my life where I have a steady income. The price of 4 DVD's and a book is
over 200 dollars. And this is pre-order. Regular price is over 300 dollars.
I have Century catalog and the DVD's there are 14.95

In a way I feel weird, because I actually wrote to Zaichik asking when the DVD's will comeout. I mean absolutely no disrespect, it's just he price is out of regular range. The only prices like this I can remmeber is Panther Video's 15 years ago, they were 50 dollars each.

Well at the discount price it would be less than sixty dollars per disk.

While I understand your OP about outside a "normal range" – I guess my question back to you and others here is defining a value on getting an instructional DVD from this guy?

… and what is the purchase value are you (as a martial arts consumer and style practioner) willing to assign to his products?

I'd pay $1000 a DVD if I KNEW that there was material on the DVDs that I could benefit from. It all depends on how much you value your martial arts and your time. I've attended plenty of seminars at $350 a pop where the information taught was material I already knew peripherally but I knew I could still benefit from the additional perspective.

Some of us pay upwards of $20,000 US a year to attend a university. Is that money wasted? Education is education and its value lies in the eyes of the beholder.

$200. That's about 2 months of dojo classes with a live instructor.

Not the priciest I've ever seen, no. I've seen DVD sets that cost twice as much, but they offer a buttload of information and are produced by legitimate grandmasters (as opposed to "who's that guy?" McGrandmasters).

wow and I thought this one was ridiculously overpriced at $150
