Learn, hands-on, practical and effective self-defense techniques. This course covers the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of self-defense including avoiding confrontations and simple / effective techniques to gain an advantage if you are attacked. The enhanced DVD features picture in picture technology to guide you through training as well as an interactive menu, that lets you chose which lessons you would like to learn. The course takes place in real life scenarios: on the street, out and about, at the car, at home, etc. You will learn from Robert Cabral, a police tactics instructor and personal security specialist with more than 20 years of experience. There are no complicated martial art techniques to learn and no need to find someone dressed in a "big rubber suit". This course is about practical and effective techniques that most anyone can learn and apply. The course also covers practical safety topics, steps anyone can take to protect themselves in their personal lives. Understanding how frustrating it can be to try to learn something by watching an expert, in this, the Women's Course, Robert found a woman with no previous experience in self-defense or martial arts and guides her along, as she learns—so do you. There are two courses, one for men and one for women. The courses are quite different and it is recommended that you select the appropriate course. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BASIC Self-defense One-on-One on location scenarios & being AWARE everydayMenu choices: play, 16 chapter choices & play all techniques only & play all discussions only. In each scenario Robert Cabral has a petite blond beginner Jane (on picture) be attacked by an "assailant" & her first instincts which were usually wrong. This is a great way to show what not to do & help realize what you could do. He reminds her what limbs she did have free, 2-3 moves way to strike & get away. Most of these are to turn, knee groin, grabbing soft tissue like eyes, ears, strike to ... Read More Rating: - Good TipsIf you're looking for the basics of self defense, this is a good DVD. It shows basic moves: go for the attacker's nose, the groin, the throat, the back of the knees, eye sockets etc (ways so you're not defenseless) What to do if you're grabbed from behind. When to run, where to run for safety etc. Good info to know so if anything like an attack happens, you're not left wondering what to do. Rating:  - DEFECTIVE DVDWhen on videotape, this probably was great! The content and videography and sound are fantastic! Unfortunately, my DVD repeatedly froze up and I returned the product. I was sent another and it also would freeze. I suspect when it was transferred from videotape to DVD an overly aggressive anti-copying scheme was employed which makes this product unusable. I have tried it on different DVD players, as well as computers, and it simply freezes up! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT UNTIL THE DEFECTS HAVE ... Read More Rating: - DAMAGED DVD (BAD BURNED / COPY)The DVD came damaged. I was only able to play the first 15 minutes and then the screen frozed. Tried cleaning it, replaying it, but it kept freezing at the same scene. Content (of what I was able to see) seems OK. Rating:  - Be Your Own Bodyguard for Women-Self DefenseI am a martial artist of over 21 years. I am an instructor in Combat Hapkido and have studied various styles. I own several instructional videos on different Martial Arts and Self Defense Instruction. One rater wondered if they had bought a good video or not because it was her first one. I'll assure you that this is a good video. For the most part the quality is great as is the filming. I was impressed with this DVD course. I liked the format. I liked the idea that he used an inexperienced ... Read More |
