Learn self-defense and stand-up grappling from the best, not the second best. Pawel Nastula won the Judo World Championship in 1995 and 1997 and Olympic gold in 1996, and Magdalena Szewczyk is Poland's Wrestling Champion (Women) and a silver medal winner in Poland's Judo Championship.

    “I really enjoyed your self-defense video, 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. As the narrator said in the intro, as far as that specific theory of self-defense technique application, "No kidding." Hey, I was one of those Self-Defense teachers, but after watching the video you really, and permanently, changed my perspective. Straightforward, efficient, and no punches pulled (pun intended)! A "gold standard" in my video library.”
    —Greg Premo, Tae Kwon-do 5th Dan, Judo 1st Dan, Personal Defense Readiness (www.tonyblauer.com) with Adam Laclair, Russian Kettlebell Certified/Challenge (RKC), Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC)—1995 to 2002, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)—1998 to 2002, Underhill, VT

    “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, Sarajevo, Bosnia

    “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 April 1995

    “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 one and a half 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 February 1998

    Publisher's note: Someone who has difficulty learning throws can solve all situations with armlocks (shown as the first program on Basic Instincts of Self-Defense).
