about VCD's: Spend an hour with a Master For Under $10!

It's hard to describe these VCDs without wild enthusiasm! Each VCD is a gem--rarely seen forms and styles, taught and performed by Chinese teachers , and each under $10! Curious about Ba Ji or Xing Yi? Want to add new takedowns to your Chin Na applications? Have you ever seen (or heard of) The Five Animal Frolics, a traditional QiGong based on - well, you guessed it - the five martial animals? And what martial artist couldn't benefit from a rare version of the Wooden Dummy Form? Or the sword that inspired the Japanese Ken? When we first came across these VCDs, we thought they were too good to be true - but we were wrong. They are an exceptional value, and one that we at Plum are proud to offer at these low prices.

Don't be mistaken: narration is all in Chinese, but this shouldn't stop you. The instruction is extremely clear (some of the best we've seen on any film) and the performances need no sound at all. We wouldn't recommend these if we thought this was a problem. As for playing them: you can watch them on your PC*, your MAC**, and even on most DVD players***. All computer software can be downloaded free from the Internet.

*PC-Use Windows Media Player, MPEG, or any compatible program
**MAC-Use Quicktime, or other compatible programs
***DVD-Check your manual
