Budovideos.com - Jimmy Pedro: Fury on the Mat DVD

When Jimmy Pedro competed at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australi, he was the most decorated American athlete in the sport of Judo and the favorite to win the gold. However, he was beset with a series of misfortunes that day and walked away from the mat and his career without a medal. But after two years of retirement, he launched an unprecedented comeback and despite odds against him, fought his way to glory at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

In this special edition DVD, Jimmy shares his personal account of his remarkable career which has spanned over 20 years. From the mat at his father's home-town dojo to the mat in 4 Olympic Games, Jimmy tells the stories of gut wrenching injuries, heartbreaking defeats, and glorious victories. He relayes his story like no other can and gives his insights into the training techniques, the competitive strategies and the discipline that it takes to be a champion in one of the most difficult of all fighting sports. Filled with footage of his greatest victories, this is an inspirational portrait of a dedicated, world class athlete who fought the odds to victory.

I felt ripped off after I watch this DVD, I really admire Jimmy Pedro but this comment has to get out of my system. I really hope his instructional disc will compensate this mess, since the preview teaser in the sneak peeks section was the only thing I liked it in this disc. The production of it was alright though.

A not so great production as I expected better. Needed a little more excitement or umph to it. Perhaps Jimmy's personality doesn't cut it. I am hopeful that Jimmy's buddy, Olympic Judo Silver Medalist Jason Morris, will try his hand at a DVD. Jason is the most charismatic of all USA Judo Champions.
