5.0 out of 5 stars How to win by striking first!, April 9, 2009

By	G. Vartha "SAINT" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This First Strike strategy should be the bread and butter of any training regime. This mindset is what allows street fighters to win. The person striking first has the advantage in a fight. Forget the dojo safety of 'your turn, my turn'. Fighting outside the confines of sport is not turn based, but one long blast of blows: someone attacking, someone defending.

This DVD shows you how to ensure you are the one controlling the win. As with other CFA instructional DVD's, First Strike is instantly understood and with the scenario section you will see just how devastating and essential the strategy is. Anyone thinking that this way of fighting is unfair just wants you to lose. All the tools are presented in a practical way. All the scenarios are realistic and show the tools of First Strike in action. All instruction is broken down, and can be copied by anyone with the desire to win.

All the training in the world will have been wasted if you are running on the defensive, so get this DVD, and enhance your training.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive View, April 9, 2009

By	Zeke Russell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Straight and to the point. After watching this, I had no additional questions that needed to be answered. I feel a lot more comfortable if having to deal with people getting aggressive and "in my face". This will give you important and tested tools in which to deal with the possibility of having to defend yourself. Self defense starts well before any attack. There are simple and effective procedures to keep you in "Ready Mode" while not letting your possible opponent know that you are ready if things take a turn for the worse. If it's justified, preemptive strikes will increase your chances of survival. It's all covered in this DVD. What to use and what to avoid.
