The new and FREE Black Belt Digital Dojo app allows you to have your very own iTunes-style martial arts library right on your Mac or PC desktop. Currently, this app (marked on your desktop by a fun “black belt” icon) contains 10 titles — ranging from Kelly McCann DVDs and a William Cheung title to samurai DVDs and MMA workout DVDs. More are planned for future upload, but we thought it would be a good idea to provide a user tutorial while everyone gets familiar with this new feature — so click below to check out this guided tour through the Black Belt Digital Dojo!
“DIGITAL DOJO” TUTORIAL VIDEO
Take a Video Tour of the NEW and FREE App That Allows You to Download Kelly McCann DVDs, William Cheung DVDs, Samurai DVDs and MMA Workout DVDs From the Black Belt Library!
If your living room or home dojo has stacks of martial arts DVDs cluttering up the shelves, the Black Belt Digital Dojo is the app for you. Currently housing 10 martial arts DVD titles from combatives expert Kelly McCann, wing chun kung fu legend William Cheung, samurai sword master Masayuki Shimabukuro and MMA workouts specialist Scott Sonnon, the Black Belt Digital Dojo is well on its way to being a one-stop shopping hub for purchasing downloads of your favorite martial arts DVDs.
Once you access the Black Belt Digital Dojo page — which you can find by typing in the URL http://www.blackbeltmag.com/digital-dojo or through the horizontal navigation bar under Store — you’ll have the option of downloading the app itself for Mac or for PC. Scrolling down the page past the two big blue buttons, you’ll see an array of blurbs describing what the Digital Dojo is, how to use it, and what the computer requirements are for its proper installation and functionality. (We recommend that you read through this text, particularly the section on system requirements.)

This is a great app. It works with your iPad; although in a rather circuitous route. You have to download to your desktop and then transfer to your iPad using the MOD Moble app from the apptore for $1.99.
What will make this great app even better if you can dowload direvtly to your iPad when connected to a WiFi network.
I am looking forward to an expanded library.
