So, why have online Bridge video lessons?
 

  • Problem – Most traditional Bridge instruction is based on static text and diagrams or well intended but incomplete dialog.

    Solution – Our BridgeHands multimedia videos are designed to provide everyday and advancing Bridge players fun, easy to understand commentary that is enlightening, entertaining, as well as educational.  Imagine how quickly you will learn Bridge when choosing your topic of interest among hundreds of hours of video footage.  Yes, you can view high resolution HD videos immediately upon signing up.  And of course you can use the video playhead to “Scrub” the videos forward and backward, providing you complete control to enhance your learning experience.  Gone are the days missing an important point or having to wade through uninteresting explanations. 

    And best yet, during the play of the hand you will be watching an animated screen sequence with all 52 cards clearly visible!  Our members find its both easier to learn, understand and retain new concepts when the student has the luxury to view EVERYONE’S cards, not just their own hand and wonder what happened after the dust clears.

    So come right in and signup for our FREE subscription membership today, or if you're good to go, we welcome you to signup for our Premium or ULTRA membership to see our entire video archive !

    -- Details --

    Beginning in November 2010, in our Bridge blog we began producing regular lessons with online videos beginning in mid-December 2010 (Poll #14) :

    1. Polling You – detailed 1-2 hour video lessons with numerous hands, comprehensive discussions, typically including downloadable materials.  We strive to ensure each of our lessons offer useful instruction for Bridge players of all levels.  These lessons were produced from 2000 through 2001, with our newer segment Social and Advanced format beginning in 2013.

    As of January, 2013, we added two new video segments:

    2. Social – multi-segmented video lessons for our newcomer, novice-to-intermediate emerging Bridge players.

    3. Advanced – multi-segmented  video lessons for our higher level and Duplicate Bridge players.
