1. I have been Lord of the Rings fan for sometime and I've always wanted to own this sword ever since I saw it on the big screen. Now after waiting many years I have finally been able to purchase it and add it to my sword collection. I would like to first say that this product is finely crafted. The attention to detail makes it feel and look like the legendary blade in the film. The detail from the elven ruins to the golden markings on the pummel are just beautiful. The blade's length is by far something to behold. The weight is something that you have to get use to. Since the handle was designed like a long sword or broad sword, the length of blade however is like great sword. Because of this the functionality of this sword isn't great.
   
   I don't know how anyone could wield such weapon in battle for long, unless they had sturdy and strong arms. However since this piece was only really meant to be displayed on a wall and used for brief demonstrations it doesn't disappoint. It is truly a wondrous weapon, that begs your attention and makes you think about the many battles it was wielded in throughout the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In conclusion I recommend this sword highly, it craftsmanship is superb and it will make great addition to any sword collector or better yet a great addition to any Lord of the Rings fan's collection.

1. I think this is a very good item for increasing flexibility in a persons back leg muscles. Streaching is very important because it can greatly reduce the risk of injury for every kind of sport whether it is karate, baseball, football, basketball, tennis, etc..

1. overall a decent heavy, good looking piece. the blade comes completely dull except for the pointed tip, and the blade seems to be have a slight bit of movement occasionally where the blade and hilt come together though it is minimal. blade has stamped on it hand forged in china close to the hilt and tomahawk usa on the other. in the end i love the blade it is a wonderful piece and was well worth the money i paid for it.

1. Pros: Cheap, Quality built
   Cons: Doesn't hold air for more than a few days
   
   I bought this bag because it was cheap and I was a little too embarrassed at the boxing gym because I had no control over the speed bag. I figured I could work on that and get hit in the face in the privacy of my own home. I figured I should buy the bigger of the two options but after two days of working out on it, I feel that I could've done better with the smaller option since it would be harder to hit the smaller target. The set up was easy. I drilled two holes at a wooden beam on the ceiling and since I didn't want to drill holes on my concrete floor, I bought a clip from Home Depot and clipped the bottom to an old backpack filled with 6, 5lbs weights. You could buy one sand bag or something equaling 20-30lbs to put as your base if you don't want to drill holes on your floor. There are only two downsides to this speed bag and one is the square TITLE BOXING logo is made of plastic. If you're going to use this bag, you should wrap your hands and have a pair of bag gloves because I've tried using this bare handed, hand wrapped, and hand wrapped with boxing gloves and there have been times when I punched it bare handed only for my fingers to hit the plastic logo. It hurts after the 4th-5th time you punch it. Second, the bladder doesn't retain the air for more than a few days so if you're going to buy this, make sure you have a basketball pump and needle nearby. Other than that, for less than 25.00, it's a steal.



2. This punching bag works well when inflated however it has a slow leak and must be taken down each day before use to be reinflated. It has become a hassle and I wish I could return it however since I ordered it through Amazon from another company I don't know how to return it.

1. This item is not worth the money. It arrived with a crack and was very loose when you held it by the handle. Not good for much except to look at.



2. This sword is a beautiful example of woodworking, but doesn't stand up to even mild play. The hilt broke off within 10 minutes. It's great if you intend to hang it up for display, but not good for much else.



3. This is a great product. THe manner in which i received it was very professional. The product got to me very fast and without any problems



4. This sword really isn't that great. You could easily tell that it was hand made and was poorly put together. Everything was glued together and the glue is visible, the blade was not aligned with the hilt (and tilted to the right quite visibly), Blade isnt symmetrical, the triangles on hilt aren't centered and even hang off the edge a little bit, the blade is much shorter than it said and really looks nothing like the picture, the sword doesn't fit properly into the scabbard (the scabbard and edge of the hilt dont match up), paint on the scabbard looks terrible(spray paint and a stencil). it just looks fairly awkward overall. If you hang it on a wall it might not be as bad because it will be harder to see all of these issues. So the only MAJOR issue i have is the blade not being aligned and tilted. other than that its A LOT of minor attention to detail issues. If you aren't too picky this is an ok master sword. I would recommend paying a little bit more for a decent sword. If you are huge Legend of Zelda fan like i am i would not get this. spend maybe $5 to get something that will actually be a good replica.



5. this sword is not great. The blade was loose after one month and the handle began to separate from the blade a week later. I had to remove the blade and fill the area where the blade is placed with jb-weld and reinsert the blade, plus the part of the handle that held the sword in had to be put back on. Although the sword was full of problems, it had nice detail and the scabbard was nice. So over-all, if you have a lot of jb-weld to spare, you can get this.

3 comments about TITLE DVD - Freddie Roach's Punching Bag Training.

1. Production quality of this DVD is ok, but the quality of the content is terrific! Note that this is geared towards beginners and fitness (vs. competitive) boxers, and more experienced boxers will find it a little too basic.
   
   Freddie Roach was a great, journeyman boxer who never quite broke through to the top-tier before his career was cut short by injuries. But he subsequently established himself as the greatest boxing trainer of his generation (at least), training the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao.
   
   This DVD is highly recommended for those starting out -- Roach's tips and insights will help you avoid costly (and potentially injury-inducing) mistakes and let you get the most of your workout. Also, remember that correcting mistakes later is tough; this DVD will help you not develop bad form to begin with.
   
   While the picture on the box cover shows the speedbag, this DVD does cover basic techniques for other bag types including heavy and double-ended.



2. I bought this DVD to check if I was still using the proper heavybag and double-end bag techniques that I had been taught years (and years) ago at a local boxing gym. All in all, I have to say that Freddie Roach - a former journeyman boxer who was trained by all-time great cornerman Eddie Futch & later worked under him as an assistant trainer - does a good job of explaining & demonstrating basic boxing techniques and how to use the heavybag, speedbag, & double-end bag to learn and master these fundamentals. While the DVD seems to have been made for people who would like to hit the bags as their at-home workout exercises, the lessons Roach imparts and the skills one can develop using these boxing training staples will prove useful if a situation arises for their out-of-the-ring use.
   
   The only thing that bothered me about this DVD (apart from seeing Roach struggle with the Parkinson's with which he has been afflicted), is the Mickey Mouse production values. For example, the sound quality is poor, there seemed to have been a couple of power surges when it was being shot, & the disc menu screen leads one to think that it was shot with a neighbour's videocam. Still, the DVD is worth the $10 selling price (but be forewarned that Title Boxing, which produced and sells/ships the DVD, charges a hefty shipping & handling fee).
   
   If you are, indeed, planning to hit the bags as your at-home workout exercise, here are several tips: 1) whether or not you buy this DVD, you ought to go to a local boxing gym and get yourself a couple of boxing lessons (having someone explain and demonstrate something on tv isn't the same as being instructed "live") &, if possible, have a friend tag along and videotape your lessons for future reference; 2) unless you are buying a 100+ lb. heavybag (which might be impractical given the stress that hitting it will put on its ceiling supports), buy yourself a heavybag that has a metal ring or triangle affixed to its bottom, which will allow you to secure the bag to the floor (with a chain) so that you can work out without having to have someone hold the bag for you (lighter heavybags have a tendency to swing violently); 3) buy double-end bag cords that are specifically made for them (& not cheap bungee or tie-down cords from a dollar or hardware store); & 4) buy yourself a mouthguard/gumshield and wear it whenever you hit the bags, but DO NOT heat it & mould it to fit (you want it to be a bit loose so that it will get you in the habit of keeping your teeth slightly clenched because one is far less likely to have one's teeth dislodged or sustain a broken jaw when punched while one's back teeth are held together than when one's mouth is hanging open).
   
   Oh, and one other thing: very early in the heavybag training portion of the DVD (the first of the three sections/lessons), Roach instructs the viewer to take a small step forward with the front/lead foot when jabbing (which moves you into range to hit the bag/your opponent), but when his pupil demonstrates the jab (and other punches), he does not step forward but simply stands at a distance from the heavybag and double-end bag that is always within punching range and Roach doesn't correct him. While it really doesn't matter if you stand as close to the bag as the pupil does (& not step into your jab) IF you are only interested in getting a workout, still, if one is learning and practicing a form of combat, one should learn to do it right: always stand at a distance from a heavybag or a double-end bag that is a bit beyond your reach when you are stationary & NOT in the act of punching (and take a small step forward when you are throwing the initial jab or right cross of a punch combination) because if you ever find yourself in a fight, you will be used to staying out of your OPPONENT'S punching range when he/she is punching and you are not (assuming that you and he/she have the same height and reach), and you will be trained to step forward into range to land your punches.



3. I read some reviews about the poor production quality, I couldn't disagree more. This DVD is highly informative and a great way to learn proper technique before starting punching bag workouts. It is great to see Freddie Roach giving tips on how to train effectively. I would recommend this DVD to anybody looking to get started with boxing workouts. It would be easy to hurt yourself by having poor form, and it is waste of energy just wailing away without any idea of what your doing, get this DVD.
