Testimonial for Ken Gullette's "Internal Strength" DVD: "One gets the best instruction with hands-on training from an instructor, but Ken Gullette's "Internal Strength" DVD is the next best thing. It offers in-depth analysis of the body mechanics common to all internal martial arts without the esoteric mysticism. The presentation of the key concepts of Ground Path, Peng, Silk Reeling, and Whole Body Movement are done in a straight-forward and practical fashion. The exercises are demonstrated in-detail, and are simple enough to grasp easily (although the concepts behind the exercises are far more profound.) If you have been taking the internal arts for a while, this DVD demonstrates concepts that will improve what you already have. If you are just beginning, Sifu Ken's DVD will give you a solid base on which to build on your skills. He has done a valuable service to all internal martial artists who are serious about taking their art to the next level. I recommend this DVD highly!" -- Evan Yeung, Cincinnati, OH DVD Running Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
