Sparring: Tips, Tactics & Techniques to Dominate Your Opponent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been looking forward to a DVD on sparring for ages, and this is now on my list of favorites by Sammy Franco. If you've ever sparred with a more formidable opponent, you already know why, too. Unless you're a boxer, you don't spar for the sake of sparring. You spar in order to learn and benefit from the skills and attributes you can improve that will make you a better fighter. But like Mr. Franco says in the DVD, when you're a beginner or if you're sparring with someone more advanced than you, you go into "survival mode". You defend as much as possible, try to land a few hits every now and then, and hope for the best. You don't learn much, frankly. But it doesn't have to be that way.
This DVD will teach you the skills you need in order to start learning and to ultimately dominate your sparring partners. You will feel more confident and wonder how it is you ever sparred without these techniques in your arsenal. Oh... and you will LOVE the "steamroller" and "cover & crush" techniques!

Bloodsport III Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Following the previous 2 all-around excellent Bloodsports, part 3 is a sad disappointment in terms of any excitement until the last 30 minutes of the film, where it all makes up for it with some of the best fights ever.
Bloodsport 3 has a few returning characters from the 2nd film, including the main character, Alex Cardo (Daniel Bernhardt). The other 2 returns, Lueng (Pat Morita) and Master Sun (James Hong), have maybe 2 minutes of screen time combined. Bloodsport 3 does get a new charcater, Mr. Devalle played by John Rhys Davies - Indiana Jones and Lord of the Rings movie, who has decent acting talent. Mr. Devalle is the center of the story, encouraging Alex to fight in his tournament so that Devalle can place a successful bet on him. Refusing to enter the kumite, Devalle murders Master Sun so that Alex will change his mind, but he still refuses. Devalle enters a new competitor, The Beast, in hopes that he will prevail. After extensive training, Alex surprsingly enters the kumite to avenge his master and defeat The Beast.
Unfortunately, the story is boring and been done a hundred times, but fortunately it doesn't matter once the kumite begins. The kumite literally lasts for the last 3o minutes of the movie straight, with fight after fight of beautiful choreography and great editing. The Beast is definetly a great villain in the kumite, but unlike Chong Li and The Demon in the previous Bloodsports, he only has 3 fights in the entire kumite. His 3rd fight is against Alex, which lasts a good 4-1/2 minutes and is the best fight in the movie. I actually liked it a lot more than Alex's fight against Demon in the previous Bloodsport.
Bloodsport 3's only bright spot is the fights, which are not disappointing at all. The first hour of this movie is all around bad, but buying this movie for the kumite alone is still well well worth it.

Savage Street Fighting: Tactical Savagery As a Last Resort Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OMG! When I watched this DVD I was stunned. I actually had adrenaline charging through me. The methods are so invasive and primal I was shocked.
Pictures paint a thousand words, and the cover tells it like it is: Brutal, devastating, final.
There is no way the opponent can handle this type of systematic over-kill of their body and mind.It is instantly understood and can be used by anyone determined to win against all odds.
Think you have seen it all folks? I doubt it. But be warned: this takes self preservation further than every other system or martial art and should only be used when you are faced with high level danger. No one can prepare or condition themselves to handle this kind of self defense.
Truly primal. Truly a winning strategy.

Heavy Bag Training Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally there is a DVD on the market that deals with heavy bag workouts for the street. Every other DVD I have seen out there deals with the heavy bag for sport fighting. In this DVD, Mr. Franco shows how to use the heavy bag to maximize speed and power for delivering fight ending compound attacks on the street. This comprehensive production covers everything from the proper height level for the bag to strengthening the hands for punching. The disorientation drill is awesome. To be able to replicate the lightheadedness of getting hit and being able to keep fighting is priceless. This is an absolute gem for anyone that is serious about punching with speed and power in a street fight.
