Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Disregard the review of the "a reader from Illinois". Other than their tasteless attacks on the moral integrity and character of Instructor Thompson, their review is simply the views of a mind twisted by beliefs that aggressors lives have equal value to that of the victim, and that only police forces have the rights to intercept occurring crimes with lethal force. Simply put, the view of the typical socialist, who does not believe that one has the right to defend their life, liberties or properties. I am quite certain that this "reader" feels that a woman or possible lone bystander must simply allow said woman to be raped by a group of unarmed men, simply because they do not intend to kill her and do not possess a weapon. Anyone with any shred of sanity who realises that sometimes you are the only one that can save you, will greatly appreciate this no nonsense approach to street fighting with a blade and I make a special mention that this is perfect for women.
Despite his allegedly "uneducated" accent, courtesy of our friend "reader", Instructor Thompson provides an incredibly detailed insight to the world of realistic knife fighting. This DVD set covers absolutely everything you could possibly need in a dire situation in regards to long ranged knife fighting. I especially liked how he would explain why what he is teaching you is so important. For example, he makes it clear that unlike many combat situations, footwork is more vital than any other aspect. He goes on to explain that provided your knife is shaving sharp (which he discusses in depth also, with a particularly unsettling story that occurred involving a blunt blade to prove the point), no strength is require and therefore being able to move fast on the feet to evade, retreat and pursue are more important. I found this nice as it motivates you to do things which are otherwise tiresome and lead you to neglect them. I also love how he provides activities and ideas to incorporate the techniques into interesting, effective drills.
Other great aspects of this DVD set include additional knowledge and skills not taught in knife fighting schools. For example, he goes on to teach you techniques using the point of a blade, which he mentions is often neglected in most arts. And clearly what our biased little friend must have missed for his review is that Instructor Thompson does teach less-than-lethal tactics. One such occasion, Instructor Thompson clearly states the aim of learning the tactic of dragging the point of a blade on an aggressor is not to seriously injury or kill them, but to cause them pain and instill enough fear to encourage them to cease attacking you.
I have more than a decade of martial experience, and I speak from experience that this DVD set is the most bang for your buck when you compare the knowledge given to you at the price you pay. Everything is easy to learn, uncomplicated to execute and from what I have gathered in sparring works a treat. It is designed to work in the real world, regardless of your strength, sex or age. I cannot recommend anything better than this, and I cannot understand why you would bother looking anywhere else. You will not find anything better than this, period. I can absolutely guarantee that if you are serious about realistic self-defense, you will be thoroughly impressed and well equipped to survive.
