Iron Crane  Products and Offerings
  No shipping or handling charges on Iron Crane media or patches ordered here.
(domestic shipments only)

All Iron Crane Instructional Videos are available in either DVD or VHS-tape formats.  Be sure to specify your preferred format at the time of placing order.  If no preference is indicated, the order will be shipped DVD.   DVD's are Region 1 Compatible for viewing in North America.

Each instructional video is $19.95 (U.S).  The prices are rock bottom!  That's because they are not studio productions.  What we save in overhead is passed on to you.  They do however present quality instruction in an informative, coherent format, without the glitz. These tapes are self produced, and marketed directly to you.  The emphasis is content, not glitter.  By focusing on content, and a well communicated lesson plan, we deliver real technique, in quantity, that you can learn using the resources of your own dojo.  A typical video will provide enough material for six months of learning, and has something of value and interest to students at all levels.  A description of the current offering is provided below. 

The Iron Crane Dojo is funded primarily "out of pocket".  From the first, our objective has been to deliver quality content, without streams of adds, flashing billboards, or sudden appearance of unwanted product offerings.  The expense of maintaining and providing this web site is covered by donations, sales of instructional media, and occasional offerings of products we believe have particular merit.  Among those products of particular merit are language learning tools by Ectaco.  Whether you're learning a new language, or going abroad, these are the ticket.  Eventually, any study of martial arts leads to exploration of Asian cultures.  Admit it!  Haven't you thought of visiting where it all started?  For more information about these products, check below.Proceeds from these sales support the continued existence of this site. 

A founding premise of the Iron Crane Dojo is bringing highest calibre martial arts technique to deserving students, in the most cost effective manner.   If you like coming, please lend your support!

IC#31---The Manual of Gun Fu with supporting video clips (CD-rom; $12.95 US):

Responding to your requests, we are making available the Gun Fu Manual (as you see it on the web site), along with all 47 supporting video clips (*.avi format).  This resource has long been one of the more popular destinations at Ironcrane.  The video clips provide hundreds of concepts demonstrated with explanatory comments and have been described by some as the spring board for understanding Black Belt level self defense.  Why spend hours downloading the files, when you can get them all on CD-rom for only $12.95?

IC#HK1---Hap Ki Do Demonstrated ($25.00):

By popular demand, we are making available a DVD collection of the Master Lee performances of Hap Ki Do empty hand, and sword forms, along with a brief sample of his self defense.  These were filmed in 1976, on 8mm film, and were passed to us by Dr. James Tille to ensure the body of knowledge would be preserved.  The DVD includes approximately 21 minutes of digitized 8mm footage, each form presented in normal speed and slow motion.  This is archival footage!  There is no instructional dialogue.  The premise here is letting the source speak for itself in the actual presentation.  For Hap Ki Do students in search of authentic forms, this is the mother load.  Limited supplies available.  You can see clips of Lee's performances here:
