Rating:  - Crammed but not very clear!!
This DVD is full of good ideas. Unfortunately, the ideas are presented with minimum explanation as if the DVD is a review for a long training camp. The novice will miss almost all, and the mature martial artist does not need to see this DVD. In other words, it is really a waste of money. I have seen a lot better instructions offered by the Grazie brothers or by Dan Gable. So my expectations were to see a coach drilling you in the art of execution of moves and the potential pitfalls you can make!! ... Read More
Rating:  - Well done
First of all; I like it. Let me make that clear. It has quality production, contains a large number of techniques and Sang H. Kim is skilled. But the major issue I want to adress in this review, is that if you REALLY want to REALISTICALLY defend yourself, then this is not were you want to start. When you are being attacked you are likely to experience chaos and fear, and it happens fast and brutally. Your mind will not be reviewing the huge catalog of techniques you have seen on video tapes (or even in ... Read More
Rating: - Crammed with information
This film has two kinds of instruction: Instruction of self-defence techniques, and more general instruction on self-defence situations. The film starts with the latter part. There is some good, but somewhat basic information on awareness, avoiding dangerous situations and so on. Although the information is not very advanced or detailed, it is a very good thing it has been included in the film. Normally, in self defence films they teach you only the techniques, and not how to avoid dangerous situations ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent reference for many aspects of self-defense
This DVD features many stategies for defending yourself from many holds, threats, groundfighting, weapons and multiple attackers. It features psychological as well as strategical elements which need to be taken into consideration. The DVD covers alot of ground and is a good reference for both student and instructor.
Rating: - A Must Have in your dvd library
I've always felt that self defense is a must for anyone to know. I also feel that it is most important for a woman to know. I see the perk to the knowledge of self defense two fold. It allows you to know what to do in situations as well as conditioning yourself to react. But the second reason is the most important to me and that is it gives you assurance and confidence, it takes away fear and empowers you. I have found to many
people, women in particular, that don't know how to defend themselves and ... Read More
