PRIDE: Bushido, Vol. 5

(4 out of 5 stars)

"There are 8 Fights/16 Fighters from all over the world on this 4:3 screen, stereo audio, very clear picture quality dvd:





The fights:



Maurico "Shogun" Rua vs. Yasuhito Namekawa - This is a leg and knee strike clinic. The kind I hope to never attend.



Henry "Sentoryu" Miller vs. Mal Foki - Two Big Bodies, Two Big Strikers here.



Luiz "Buscape" Firmino vs. Masakazu Imanari - A good match up. Aggressive, with a focus on ground control/grappling.



Ikuhisa "The Punk" Minowa vs. Ryuki Ueyama - Mostly on the ground. Sort of a mismatch in my book. As in a lanky body versus a solid, wrestler type build.



Igor Vovchanchyn vs. Shanoji Fujii - Igor is scary to me, and that's precisely why I want to see more. Brute strength and power on display.



Ryo Chonan vs. Carlos Newton - All around good action and technique here. Some effective knee work. This is a good match up.



Crosley Gracie vs. Hayato "Mach" Sakurai - a leaner build against a stout one. Gracie is an alternate spelling of Jiu Jitsu.



Takanori Gomi vs. Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennet - Yes. This one answers my entertainment inquiry.



***



There's a pretty good variety of well executed fighting technique on this dvd, and it's one I'll be watching more than once. 4 Stars.



The Special Features provide a lot of info, I'll post them in the comments section to keep this short."

Pride bushido has some of the great matches
