    Realistic groundpounding!, 12.13.2009
|
|
Reviewer: Danny (Mayaguez, Puerto Rico)
|
I have to say that this groundpounders DVD is kick ass! The part I liked the most was during ground fighting when the small fighters forgot how to escape against the big fighters and Mr. Franco always address their errors. Two thumbs up with this DVD Mr. Franco!

    Time to Wake Up ! ! !, 6.12.2009

Reviewer: Zeker (Bay Area, CA, )

The days of theoretical scenarios are over. No more intellectualizing your combat responses with others. It's time to put it all to the test. In this DVD you see people of all levels put into the mix to see what they are capable of. It's amazing to see what happens. To make it even better, Mr. Franco narrates through the fights to tell you what's good and where the mistakes are. What tactics/moves are more beneficial and which ones will head you towards a beating! ! ! You get to see it for yourself. Makes the things you've been told not to do, more of a reality. This is a must for anyone serious about ever defending themselves. Period.

Reviewer: Nelson (Toronto, Ont, Canada, )

This DVD is awesome! Watch students spar full contact and listen to Sammy Franco analyze the fights. You will learn a lot watching this DVD on what to do and what not to do in a full contact encounter! I Highly recommend this dvd to any person studying RBSD.

    Reality Hits Here, 3.14.2009

Reviewer: Paul Fedorchak (Succasunna Nj, )
|
This dvd is very different from some of the others. Full speed beat downs with Sammy Franco himself giving the fighters the final grade. Here you will be able to pick apart a fight and see how quickly the tides turn. Its definitely a dvd that will make you think as you put yourself in the fighters place as you watch. Very very helpful in the "what would I do if it were me type scenarios." This is one to pick up.

    Groundpounders, 12.2.2008
|
|
Reviewer: George M. Miner (San Anselmo, CA, )
|
The analysis of the fights was good and relevant. It is apparent from watching the fights that fighting defensively and being reluctant to engage in a fight will guarantee you will get an ass whipping. Small and medium sized people especially need to know how to fight on the ground and escape as soon as possible.

    What really happens!, 10.10.2008
|
|
Reviewer: Damian Jensen (Glendale, AZ US, )
|
In this DVD, you get to see real CFA groundpounding! Don't let the couple of pieces of protective gear fool you, these are fights. This dvd shows you what really happens in a street fighting situation, you almost ALWAYS go to the ground, it shows the good, the bad and the ugly of realistic self defense training. The fights are shown once uninterrupted, then again with Sammy doing the commentary and pointing out the critical things you will have missed in watching the first time. Absolutely invaluable to any serious trainee!

Reviewer: Ralph A. Detri (Providence, RI US, )

This is a highly informative video that allows viewers to carefully watch the mechanics and nuances of fighting while gaining skillful analysis and fighting pointers from Sammy Franco. This DVD offers a unique and effective opportunity to study ground fighting by analyzing what is and isn't effective in real time.

    Very informative, 6.23.2007
|
|
Reviewer: Del Salter (Valdosta, GA US, )
|
The fights shown in this DVD, while not actual street fights, do provide a great deal of educational value. Mr. Franco's analysis of the fights taught me some things that I hadn't learned in his other resources, and reinforced some of the things I already had learned from his products. A real eye-opener and quite entertaining.

    Worth It's Weight in Gold, 2.20.2007
|
|
Reviewer: Hammad (Germantown, MD, )
|
Our Youtube generation is drowning in an endless sea of stupid punks fighting each other in backyards and parking lots. While the average schmuck watches these kinds of videos for their own barbaric enjoyment, a careful street fighter can pick apart these fights and extract valuable knowledge by analyzing what exactly is going on during the fight.
This DVD is packed with 12 indispensable fights of CFA students, not thoughtless miscreants. But what makes this DVD stand above anything else like it is Sammy Franco's commentary on the fights. Mr. Franco points out common mistakes and expounding on important techniques and topics as they arise during the fights. That being said, one must have a sound background in reality based self defense in order to extrapolate the most from this DVD.
While Mr. Franco does explain various techniques and tactics, the worth of this DVD is in scrutinizing over the fights yourself and seeing with your own eyes the mistakes and openings Mr. Franco points out. After watching this DVD, I guarantee you won't look at a UFC match or a news clip of a mindless scrap in the same way again.

    My Favorite DVD!, 2.12.2007
|
|
Reviewer: grubester (Rockville, MD, )
|
This is one of my favorite DVDs of my CFA collection because I love how you get to watch the fight and then afterwards you get to watch it again but its paused and commented on by Sammy. Its great because during the analysis of the fight Sammy points out details that you may not have normally picked up whlie watching it. The DVD shows some very common mistakes made by people when they are in an actual fight. The action is real hard-core and is not filmed in your typical studio style setting. This DVD shows real deal combat with the real deal analysis.
