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!
