This video shows how to use pressure points all over the body in self defense, how to reach and strike those points in actual combat and integrate pressure point fighting with other techniques. It can help you fight against larger and stronger attackers. Each technique (which concerns a particular pressure point) is carefully shown on a partner, from several angles and safety points on practicing with another person, are given. These techniques can be very helpful in real situations.

Robert Lyons demonstrates using pressure points with another guy. You can see clearly where each point is and how to strike it and also how to combine that with your regular punching and kicking. This tape covers this subject well. You do need a partner for this. Lyons knows his stuff. The video is good quality too. I hadn't been trained in pressure point fighting before so I found this information new and very helpful.

This tape is clear and well taught. This is the first time I've tried using pressure points in my sparring. My sparring partner and I use the tape and it has added a new dimension to our sparring. Can't say I'm good at it yet, though. I think that you need to know this stuff if you practice the martial arts. It gives you a great advantage. This tape is easy to follow and practice with.

This DVD would be great if it were re-issued with subtitles--the instructor, though very thorough, is difficult to understand at times.

Also, it would not play in a computer, which is a negative if you are traveling and don't have access to a standard DVD player.

Robert Lyons teaches very well in this DVD. He shows how to strike about 25 pressure points all over the opponent's body and how to reach those points in the midst of the sparring. This allows a weaker person to overcome a stronger opponent. Pressure point techniques are often neglected in martial arts training so this DVD can provide that missing training.

I received the DVD in good Time. The DVD did not play in any of my DVD players. My PC saw the disk as a data disk but was unable to open the files. The sellers web site said I had to fill out a Return Authorization form and send it back with the defective disk. I have to pay return shipping. The process is too complicated for me, it would be better if I were able to speak to a coustomer service rep. So all in all I paid for a lesson in buyer beware
