5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Nice work, 8.12.2010
Reviewer: Joshua Thomas (Denver, CO)

I liked it, simple and straight forward. I can't tell you how many Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon BS "skills" I have been taught in the past. Finally, a great DVD to train from!

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Glad I got this one., 5.31.2010
Reviewer: Zeke (Bay Area, CA)

I've been training with short weapons, like the baseball bat and rattan stick, for 21 years. The conclusions I've come to from all that experience, Mr. Franco covers on this DVD with great instruction and in a easy way to learn. He even goes into more depth and specifics than I know, I'm glad my ego didn't get in the way of me watching this DVD. CFA cuts out the unnecessary and focuses on the essential. Gives logical reasons why not to use the things that may get you into trouble, always making sure to keep you using only the safest practical techniques. As for blunt weapons defense and usage, this DVD is a must have. I'm so glad I reviewed Batters up. It helps me get rid of the old habits that could get me into trouble out in the real world. Another home run from CFA.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Batter Up, 5.5.2010
Reviewer: Alex (Melbourne , Victoria Australia)

A bat is a very serious weapon which can kill you or at least, make you invalid. So are you helpless if somebody attacks you with it? No, not at all if you apply effective principles shown in this DVD. Correct defense position, movements, timing and disarming techniques these are your countermeasures against vicious bat attack. Highly recommend it!

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 I stole home on this one, 4.28.2010
Reviewer: Paul Alba (Henderson, NV)

An excellent compliment to the widow maker and feral fighting dvd programs. The way baseball bat attacks are broken down and explained (in a very easy to understand matter of fact way) by Mr. Franco. We hear about people being bludgeoned (sometimes to death) by people who snap in the streets. I wonder how many of these people would be alright if they had practiced the defenses taught on this dvd. Better to know this stuff than to not know it at all.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Batter up, 2.3.2010
Reviewer: Quin (Carmichael, CA)

I am glad someone has taken the time to present this information as a focus item. I am in the private security business and baseball bats are very prevalent, especially in domestic violence situations. Well done!

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Saaa...wing batter!!, 5.19.2009
Reviewer: paul fedorchak (Succasunna NJ, )

Lots of people feel intimidated when that thug gets out of a car with a bat or goes in back of his pickup truck and pulls out a slugger and wants to conduct batting practice on your head. SOLUTION: Pick up the dvd Batter Up, press play, and watch. Its that simple. Mr. Franco will show you the angles of swings, how to defend, attack, and make the guy eat the bat. Well not really eat it but you get my point. Seriously though, you will come away with the best and i mean the best way to defeat a baseball bat attack.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 lethal force, 12.14.2008
Reviewer: brian atherton (marysville, OH US, )

The baseball bat is a common weapon on the streets and it's capable of inflicting serious damage! The skills Mr. Franco helps you develop in this dvd will help you survive and make it home alive if you ever find yourself on the wrong end of a Louisville slugger.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Batter Up, 12.2.2008
Reviewer: George M. Miner (San Anselmo, CA, )

The protection techniques and bat drills are superb. The information is hands on and can be used by anyone with average intelligence and coordination.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Nightmare Scenario....Solved!, 10.10.2008
Reviewer: Damian Jensen (Glendale, AZ US, )

Among the most feared situations that one may encounter in the "street," being attacked by someone armed with a baseball bat has to be among the worst! The baseball bat is primitive, heavy, brutally unforgiving, and inherently deadly! Where else could you go and learn what will REALLY work against such a weapon? Hell.....who else has even dared to broach the subject? None that I have seen! As always, Sammy Franco teaches these defenses using a combination of real world experience, universally effective techniques and a healthy dose of common sense about the realities of such a deadly attack! No sizzle or flashy techniques, just pure realistic defense. An absolute must have for your education in TRUE self defense!

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Great dvd!, 9.29.2008
Reviewer: Nelson (Toronto,Ontario,Canada, )

With many people carrying baseball bats in their cars you never can be sure if the guy in the car next to you is going to take a swing at you when he loses control. Sammy Franco takes away any fear or apprehension you may feel and teaches you the principles and methods of dealing with this terrible scenario. I highly recommend this dvd! *Thank You Sammy Franco you truly are the best Reality Based Instructor teaching the best RBSD system.
