The dvd looks good.
Would have prefared to have seen some of the best fights then the ladies finals. But I really like the idea of shawn teaching some of the moves from the finals.
Really looking forward to seeing braulio and galvaos match
Damn, that looks sweet.
So is it really part instructional part event??
Sounds great, finally BJJ DVDs are catching up to the Judo sets put out by Fighting Films.
Any thoughts on adding the highlights of each athletes route to the finals to any future sets? No need to show each match in full, but how about the subs and key scoring moments? And actually label the matches as 1st rnd, 2nd rnd etc so we know at what stage the match took place.
sounds awesome.
i would have preferred mike goldberg and joe rogan to do the commentary actually. ill miss the "....AND HERE WE GO!!!!" as well as rogans numerous mentions of rubber guard as if he gets commission for everytime he mentions it
Thats awesome- Shawn is amazing. I love the guy.
Was the play by play done live, or afterwards while watching the video?
I'm pretty sure it was done after watching the video, as I talked to Shawn during the tournament.
Sean Flanery, the actor of Powder and Boondock Saints fame?
Sean Flanery is a legit grappler and a good actor!
yes the same actor of those two movies
Yes, Sean is Shawn William's first (and I believe only) Black Belt.
I saw him teaching a class at hollywoodbjj, and he is a great teacher.

Yes there is a little of that and if this DVD does well, we'll be adding more details and special features on future releases. In the coming months we will release the best fights from the entire weekend.

Yes it was recorded after the tournament but these guys are fantastic on the mic. Shawn Williams is extremely knowledgeable and gives great insight to every detail of the matches. It's a very informative and entertaining DVD. We should have a trailer ready in a few days.
Budovideos- huge kudos for getting Shawn/Sean!
Looking forward to this
When is the release date?
On the webpage it says "Expected release date is late September" but then at the very bottom says expected to ship 10/2008.
If this dvd is being released in early october and i have preordered saulos book which is being released 10/10/08 can i get them shipped together instead of paying shipping twice?
