Kia's Bridge Survival Kit


About This Page

As most of you know, Kia is the prolific author of several hundred bridge movies on my main bridge page www.hondobridge.com. Because of the large number of movies, both he and I feel that it is easy for a student to be overwhelmed with information overload. Therefore, we have put together this page. It contains short movies on important topics that can be used as a quick reference.

Note that this is a work in progress and we will be adding more movies over time.
