The System was definitely disappointing when it came to the teaching aspect of the DVD. But it did have some great material and the moves themselves aren't particularly hard. But they may appear slightly harder due to the hard to understand explanations. Papercuts has something for everyone and I found that one was the easiest of the three. The teaching was easy to follow and was shot in the "Over the Shoulder" perspective throughout the DVD, which I find extremely easy to follow. There was also a quick run through of the move after each explanation to show you how it should look full speed from your perspective, also very useful when trying to develop some flow. Solo had some extremely interesting material, Michael James Herp has a style of his own. Many of his moves are compatible with moves you probably know already. The teaching is excellent, shot in "Over the Shoulder" perspective throughout the explanations, but in addition to that, Michael talks you through the entirety of the cuts. This is rare for a flourishing DVD, as most of the time it's just a slow motion break down with the occasional bit of text. Solo contains moves that range in difficulty, it has some beginner moves and some really difficult moves. After this breakdown, I would recommend Solo due to it's variety of content, teaching style and difficulty. If you aren't comfortable with this DVD, I would try Papercuts, followed by The System. I'd also like the recommend the DVDs Dangerous Vol 2 (Motion) by Daniel Madison, and the Genesis series by Andrei Jikh. Both DVDs offer a variety of difficult and beginner moves, along with an easy to follow and casual teaching style. I hope this helps you
