Just as in his other DVD's with Digitsu, excellent instruction, great details, production is second to none, and it gave my old bones a ton of material to work with. I never really worked the Berimbolo because I thought my age and body would't allow me. However, Gianni breaks it down in such a way that I was able to grasp the concept of the Berimbolo quite easily and adjust it to my needs. Another great product my Digitsu!
