There are so many street fighting and self defence DVDs out in the market place all claiming to be the best and have the most effective or devastating techniques. Some claiming you need no previous knowledge and can knock out a bigger opponent in a few simple moves. Others claiming to be secret or banned techniques that you are not allowed to know. Since we wouldn’t want to buy and watch every single one how can we find the good ones ?
Self defence is something that I am passionate about and as such I have seen dozens and dozens of DVDs on this subject. I really can’t get enough of them. Some of them have been absolutely excellent and others have been, in my opinion, appalling. There are some out there that have been done by very experienced martial artists however, these can sometimes be overcomplicated with difficult techniques or can be techniques that may have worked several hundred years ago, but aren’t relevant to a modern street fighting situation.
I guess it depends on the market they are aiming for. In my opinion though a good self defence DVD will contain simple, yet effective techniques that will involve using gross motor skills (your fine motor skills go out the window with the effects of adrenaline). And these techniques and skills have to have a percentage chance of working. A good self defence DVD should discuss fear and adrenaline and have strategies and techniques for this. It should cover awareness and deal with how to avoid potentially life threatening situations as well. For further information please click here.
