I have trained in the martial arts for 18 years. I have the rank of 4th Dan black belt. This video is good it has many joint locks,throws and take-downs used on a knife welding opponent. Many of the attacks are front stabs. There are other angles someone can strike you. Toward the end of the video you will learn how to get out of positions that would be someone's worst nightmare. Like someone who has you on the ground standing over you with a knife to your through. The list could go on there are so many techniques. I don't see this as a end all video, but I did skip the first one in the series. I do recommend this video, and it does live up to the it's name Advanced Knife Defense.

This review is from: Advanced Knife Defense (DVD)

The martial art that I teach is Hapkido. I am always looking for new DVD's that instruct in certain self defense methods. As usually with most of the DVD's on the market, some of the techniques are applicable to the street and some simply will not work. This is the case with this DVD. This is not a DVD for the beginner, but for the more advanced student. If you know the art then you will be able to pick and choose the techniques that work. As for the instruction - it is excellent. The technique is rerun several times and then in slow motion and explained. Would I recommend it for the advanced martial art student - yes.
