Format:	DVD NTSCNTSC is the standard video format used in North America and parts of Asia. This DVD will play on any standard DVD player in North America or other country where NTSC is used. Most relatively new DVD players have the ability to convert signals from NTSC to PAL or vice versa. We sell NTSC and PAL DVDs to customers all over the world on a daily basis without much problem. Occasionaly there are a few customers with older set top DVD players that cannot do a signal conversion. If you have any doubts about the ability of your DVD player to properly convert the signal, please referance your manufacturer's instruction manual. Because a computer is neither PAL nor NTSC, you should have no problem playing an NTSC or PAL DVD on your computer.

Other info:	Region 2 DVDRegion Codes are software locks installed on the DVD disc to prevent people from taking advantage of the differential release schedules of movies. Therefore some DVDs manufactured in Japan for example, will not play in DVD players sold in the United states and vice versa. Japan and England fall into what is known as Region 2 and the United States falls into Region 1. If the DVD is marked as "Region 0" or "Region Free", it will play on any player. If you would like to view Region 2 DVDs and you don't live in Japan or England, it is possible to overcome the region encoding by purchasing a Region Free DVD player, which we sell here, or by finding a code to disable the region encoding on your player. Look at the "Details" on each of our DVDs to see whether your DVD player is capable of playing the disc. Only a few of our DVDs are region 2. By far, the majority of our DVDs are all region and will play on any player. If you have questions or doubts, check your manufacturer's instruction manual.

I usually shy away from recommending the purchase of two-disc DVD sets because for the price of a two-disc set (typically a nickel short of Benjamin Franklin), a knowledgeable MMA connoisseur could enjoy four or five (perhaps even six) DVDs that contain highly competetive bouts between athletes who are skilled in a variety of martial arts disciplines.

This DVD set is an exception to such a tendency. Several early fights of RUMINA SATO and MACH SAKURAI can be found in this collection of Shooto fights from the late 90's.

Additionally, the 143 lbs. title fight between ASAHI and PEQUENO should be of great interest to anyone who can afford this set.

This set is for both the dedicated Shooto enthusiast and those whose Shooto education has just begun.
