    Excellent introduction to groundfighting, 2.21.2010
|
|
Reviewer: Russell J (Kensington, MD)

I found this DVD to be an excellent introduction to the basics of ground fighting. It starts with reviewing the basic positions that a ground fight can occur in and then moves on to teaching you several escapes and submissions from those positions. Everything is backed up with clear and concise instructions, close ups, reviews, and tips. The author even provides drills for you to practice what is being taught. An excellent value for the amount of material presented.
If you're looking to understand what is involved in ground fighting, this DVD should be your first purchase.

Lets face it, the ground is the last place you want to be in a self defense situation but sooner or later your going to end up there. This dvd gives you the skills you need to survive on the ground. Don't make the mistake of thinking stand up skills alone are the answer to self defense, get this dvd and become a well rounded fighter.

Mr. Franco covers the meat and potatoes of ground fighting, from locks and chokes to defenses and escapes. He also covers the five important positions in a ground fight with a lot of drills to build your techniques as well as your endurance. All around another awesome dvd from Mr. Franco and CFA!

This dvd features basic ground fighting defensive and offensive skills followed by ground drills. Sammy Franco explains, in a clear and concise way, the five important positions in a ground fight, and demonstrates basic escapes from mount, guard and side positions. Submission techniques are explained in detail and include the double leg grapevine, box, chokes and modified japanese arm bar. This is an excellent dvd to learn what could ultimately happen in a street fight when going to the ground. It will raise your level of perception one more notch.

    Core Essentials!, 2.20.2007
|
|
Reviewer: Hammad (Germantown, MD, )

Ground fighting skills are crucial for anyone who wishes to defend himself on the streets. Almost 90% of street fights go down to the ground, where an opponent can easily cause serious bodily harm to. Unfortunately, popular karate schools and other traditional martial arts neglect to teach even basic ground fighting skills, leaving their students with a false sense of security and ability.
In this DVD, Sammy Franco outlines the core essentials of ground fighting: the different positions, grips, escapes, and common submission techniques, all illustrated by a plethora of live drills preformed by CFA students. As an introductory DVD for ground fighting, Mr. Franco aptly shows you the rudimentary ground fighting knowledge which could potentially save your life in a street altercation.
In a time where UFC and mixed martial arts are more popular than ever, it is imperative that you prepare yourself for the fight to go to the ground, and Ground Fighting in the Streets is an excellent introduction to the world of ground fighting.

This DVD is great!!! Sammy Franco goes into great detail of how to perform the locks and chokes in this DVD. This should be close to the top of your list in purchasing products from this website. This is a VERY HIGHLY recommended because as we all know, 90% or more of street fights end up on the GROUND!!!

Reviewer: radetri (Providence, RI, )

This dvd goes far beyond traditional ground fighting techniques taught in a studio. It's designed primarily for street application where "tapping out" isn't an option. An excellent demonstration of ground fighting positioning escapes from mounted postions headlocks and traps. A clear and easy to follow demonstation of applying various chokes holds and submission techniques. The partner drills are extremely useful. You'll want to review this film numerous times. There's much to learn.

This dvd provides you with all the tactics and techniques you need to get started in this vital area of street combat. What I like best about this video is that Sammy does not overwhelm you with endless variations like many other ground fighting videos. He provides you with a compact set of tools to get you started that are highly effective and easy to learn. Highly recommended!
