Summary: SUCKS
Comment: Who ever put this product together doesn't care about repeat coustmers. Do not buy this product or any other product promoted by these people. It is to bad they don't have a negative rating.

Summary: There are better choice for easy self defense.
Comment: Unfortunately, this is based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which has become very popular with young males over the last few years and is similiar to wrestling.

While there is nothing wrong with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, its not a system that small females or older individuals tend to do well in. I have reservations about martial arts that require strength, flexibility or years of training, unless of course, you have the time and the inclination to do this.

Personally, I would recommend something from the Israeli fighting systems because they are 1. Easy to learn. 2. Easy to remember and 3. Don't require knowledge of submission holds and ground grappling.

For easy self-defense, check out Krav Maga or anything by Paul Vunak.

Summary: A very well organized and well thought out approach to self defense
Comment: The first time I have seen a minimalist approach to defense in a high stress environment, using a few simple techniques for multiple attacks and focusing on applications for different types of athletic abilities. A realistic attitude was presented in admitting the unpractical-ness of elaborate techniques presented elsewhere, and due seriousness given when dealing with armed attacks. Overall, Mr Simco is friendly and patient with his instruction, with good video editing, use of effects and camera work. My compliments to Mr. Simco's assistant Nick, who patiently endures being the 'punching bag' in the demonstrations! Beware of the choppy start of the video and be aware of the law enforcement focus of the 2nd half of the video,'restraining techniques' if a private citizen. A refreshingly honest and useful presentation!

Summary: "Excellent flow patterns. Functional, reliable techniques."
Comment: This is exactly what I was looking for. Simco shows some awesome wrist locks with great explanations. The DVD was a success because I watched it with a partner and followed along. I converted many of them into one-step sparring techniques that look pretty sharp. I am very pleased with this self-defense DVD, the instructor is extremely knowledgeable about the subject material and it is a no nonsense DVD that gets right to the heart of strategy. Great tool!
