Testimonials

“The premise of the video is to offer methods of defense (mentally and physically) which are simple to learn, simple to execute under duress, practical, effective and whose offensive and defensive technical applications can be practiced relatively safely at full speed, full power. It is directly stressed and often implied through the presentation that a defender will respond in real time the way he or she trains. And if training does not possess elements of actual power and force on force practice, one will be inadequately prepared.

“Many years ago, during real world combative activity, I learned just how ineffective strikes can be and just how difficult generating powerful striking applications can be when the body and mind are under the uncontrollable influences of combat duress.

“When one learns how to use body leverage, evasive movement and balance breaking against an attacking human adversary, as is clearly shown and taught in this DVD selection, then one does possess strong, effective and versatile defensive tactics, leading to an inner security that is unwavering under duress.

“The level of professionalism applied to the production of this DVD is without compare. It contains a lifetime worth of defensive skills to assimilate and master, makes it a rare and valuable find, indeed.”—Rev. A. Bodhi Chenevey, RM, DD

“I really enjoyed your Basic Instincts of Self Defense. I was impressed by its clearly laid out progression and easily learned, simple yet very effective techniques that don't rely on trying to grab a wrist or finger in the midst of a chaotic, high stress situation.

“Straightforward, efficient, and no punches pulled (pun intended)! A "gold standard" in my video library.”—Greg Premo

“Your selection of techniques and graded advancement from armlocks to clinch and throws, from defenses against grabs and holds to defenses against punches and kicks are fantastic. Methodology and explanation, simplicity and practical approach is what I like about this tape.

“My experience in some other systems gives me the possibility to highly value your tape. I decided to include your basic idea into our training. It is an excellent link between Aikido techniques and practical self-defense.”—Ragib Karamehmedovic
Aikido (Goshin) instructor

“This video teaches basic defense moves against 55 typical attacks; all simple moves, all designed to work against a stronger attacker, and based on natural, instinctive reactions to assault.”—Self-Defense Magazine

“Believe me, this video delivers the goods. This is not one of those `learn to defeat any attacker in only 15 minutes with only 3 simple moves' tapes. No, this is real good self-defense packed into a 1.5 hour video.

“I would recommend this video tape to anyone. I particularly recommend it to beginning and intermediate students who are unable to attend self-defense class on a regular basis. Get yourself a partner, buy some good mats (the falls in this video can be pretty rough), and buy this video. I don't think you will be disappointed.”—Martial Arts Video Reviews
