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

Some 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. By special order, copies can be printed for other regions.

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.    For more information about these offerings, check below.Proceeds from 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#SDx4---The Self Defense Videos 4 DVD's; nearly 4 hours ($55.00 US):

This is what many of you have written and asked about.  Over a period of two weekends in November 1993, Bill Mc Cabe agreed to a request by several of his students that he be filmed running through the self defense techniques as listed in the Gun Fu Manual.  They had planned to make this a several month project, with full scripting, and extensive preparation so that each technique would be presented at its pristine best.  To everyone's surprise (and consternation) Mc Cabe agreed to do it immediately, and filming begain the next weekend, wrapping the following weekend.  Incredibly, what unfolded was a "stream of consciousness" presentation, with demonstration, and explaination of hundreds, possibly thousands (no one's ever counted) of techniques, covering virtually every self defense situation imaginable.  The original tapes were immediately copied for distribution (and then lost), with existant copies receiving wide distribution and acclaim by all who have used them as a reference source and foundation for advanced self defense.  The entire set was improvised on the spot, with camera running virtually continuously.  The outcome speaks for itself...you either know your stuff or you don't! ... and sets the standard for instinctive awareness of self defense concepts, executing at will.  Recently, a first generation copy of the original prints was discovered.  These were digitized and printed with full menu systems to DVD's, and are now available for purchase.  Extracts of the clips can be viewed by visiting our Self Defense Demonstration  page.  If you like what you see, and want the whole shebang, you can place your order by clicking below.

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 .  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:
