Basic Instincts of Self-Defense Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unarmed street type Self-defense, uses practical techniques. However, novice students need a liberal amount of training time with a good partner. Video production is well arranged, and subject matter flows logically and skills increase in difficulty. Video is narrated in English using Polish Physical Education & Olympic calibre Judo champions. Includes one female and three male black belts. New techniques are repeated for instructional reinforcement.
Tape does not cover prevention and awareness training. This tape focuses on situational attack vs response strategy using no nonsense standing & ground techniques. The Skill level required of this tape is best suited for Intermediate and above students. However, commited novices can learn with sufficient repetition. Definitley recommend learning proper falling techniques as shown at begining of the tape.
For all students beginer to advanced, this tape should be supplemented by a "Prevention & Awareness" tape such as "Safe in the Street" by Paladin Press. For intermediate and above students, supplement some of these techniques by a Brazillian Jui-Jitsu series such as Grace "Street-Self Defense" by Gracie Jui-Jitsu Videos, etc. However, the Best training is from spending time On-the-Mat!

Easy, no-nonsense, complete system of self-defense taught bythe best--Pawel Nastula won Judo World Championship in 1995, andEuropean Judo Championship in 1994 and 1995 and Magdalena Szewczyk wonPoland's Wrestling Championship (Women) and is a Silver Medal Winnerin the Poland Judo Championship.This video teaches you how to avoidkicks and strikes, defeat any mugging hold, grab, or choke and disablethe attacker with devastating locks and throws.The techniques are sosimple that anyone does most of them effectively after only one try!They are effective thanks to being based on basic, natural,instinctive human reactions that immediately neutralize anyattack. Learning is quick because of the NEW teaching method or"teaching sequence" developed by Stadion's training expert TomKurz. He has arranged the techniques in a way that eliminates the needfor long training by using as many common elements as possible. Eachtechnique builds on movements learned earlier and habits developedwhile learning one defense make learning the next one easier.Learn: * How to defend against 55 common attacks * How to defeat muchstronger attackers without strength or agility * How to defeat allbear hugs and grabs--so often used in all-out fighting * How to defendagainst all grabs from behind * How to protect yourself from skillfulpunching and kicking attacks * How to fall so you will not get hurt iftripped or thrown down * How to eliminate the need for long trainingand quick reactions. Most other programs show techniques that, although physicallypossible, are not likely to be done well by a person under stress andin fear.Not Stadion's Basic Instincts of Self-Defense.Rarein self-defense instruction, only those techniques that a much weakerand even very intimidated defender can use are shown. The strikes andkicks shown do not require power or accuracy. The defender uses themto distract or position the opponent, to make a joint lock or a throweasier.However, all attacks are done at the attacker's fullpower--full force, full speed, on target strikes and full-strengthholds or grabs. No faking so you see only the moves that work whenthings are really going bad.The techniques (mainly from judo, butalso from viet vo dao, sambo, and other arts) were selected by MajorGrzegorz Piwowarczyk, a military hand-to-hand combat and self-defenseinstructor in Poland. The video was shot at the Center for PoliceTraining in Legionowo, Poland.
