BULLSHIDO PUT THIS IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!!, 7.21.2011
|
|
Reviewer: Johnathan Jones (Riverside, CA)
|
I found CFA doing a simple search for combat conditioning and what I found is FORT KNOX of fighting information! This is my third CFA DVD and let me tell ya Sammy delivers. The content is so so simple yet so effective. I truly believe Sammy may have cornered the market on street fighting and self defense. I do not mention sports fighting cause that is what sammy does not teach (MMA). So for you skeptics and critics out there who believe the only way to truly test any self defense system is through the Octagon continue your sport training. BUT!!!! If you want to learn the proper techniques that will help you in a street fight, any maybe get cha home alive! CFA is the DEAL!!!!!

Self defense nightmare, 7.9.2011

Reviewer: daryl anderson (pittsboro, NC)

This is one of my favorite training dvd's. It augments well with the martial art style that I train in, hapkido. We are very fortunate to have a self defense instructor who shares this level of excellence with us simply because he cares if your ##$ makes it home at night. There is a blend of concepts that Sammy shares that most intructors won't teach until you get a black belt. There's only one thing, the person who's trying to violate you will not wait until you learn them. God forbid if any of us are placed in a self defense situation but if you own and embrace the concepts taught in the Escape Master dvd your assailant is in for a self defense nightmare.

Once again reality is the key. In this dvd Sammy Franco goes over the most common holds that occur in the streets and how to get out of them. I like the acronym M.A.P. Very informative dvd and like I always say when you have good information, you have good power!!! Hey Mr. Franco, how bout flying me in to MD and be on the dvd for L.E.O (the M in the M.A.P)!!!

Foundation Skills, 9.27.2009

The escapes here demonstrate the use of good body mechanics (leverage, balance, etc) to maximize effectiveness as well as varying levels of force -i.e., if you are grabbed by a friend or your job requires you to restrain people then it's nice to have non lethal options to pacify them. Having "pressure tested" these techniques I believe they give you the highest percentage chance of escaping these holds - you do still need to practice the escapes. I feel that the techniques and principles here are essential and will serve you well.

Escape Master, 1.27.2009
|

Reviewer: Bill Lewis (Mays Landing, N.J., )

"Escape Master" teaches valuable easy to learn techniques to add to your arsenal since many situations begin with a grab. Women are especially vulnerable to attacks that starts off with a grab. My wife found it very interesting and actually sat down and watched it with me. It also goes together well with the "First Strike "DVD. If you are serious about "Not Being a Victim", you need these two DVD's.

A "Must Have", 1.20.2009

Reviewer: Chris (Cold Spring, NY, )

The great thing about Sammy Franco's videos & programs, is that he demonstrates "holds" & "techniques" that actually happen in "real life" situations. This video demonstrates everything from all kinds of choke holds, sleeper holds, grabs...etc....and explains (in depth), how to get out of them, in an easy to digest manner. It's a great title to have in your DVD library, even if you're NOT a full-time Martial Artist. If you want to keep yourself & your family safe, you may want to invest in some of Sammy's programs. You'll be glad you did. I have quite a few of his programs (including the Widowmaker program), and the one thing I can honestly say is that his programs work. Watch them carefully, follow his advice, and you'll learn a lot. I hope I never have to use any of my former training, but, it's nice to feel a bit safer, especially these days...

How not to be a Victim..., 11.5.2008
|
|
Reviewer: Glen V. (SAINT) (Auckland, New Zealand, )

Being grabbed is a very real scenario for every human that has ever lived. We learn to grab as children, before we learn to walk. We grow up, and people use this simple concept to rule through intimidation. You don't need training to grab people, to hold onto someone, as it is wired into us. Many training systems teach how to punch and kick, but don't even consider the real need for tuition like this DVD offers us. The trouble is that we seldom get taught how to 'escape' the grabs, the grips, the holds we all have the ability to use on others. They train for trophies and fitness, not for our real needs. Here, Sammy Franco gives you all the advice and skills to never be a victim of grabs and holds again. All tuition provides differential responses based on need (using the MAP system), so you can be sure to use the required response that fits the scenario you find yourself in. I have shared the wisdom of "Escape Master" with my family. Do it for yourself, do it for your family. Get this DVD! 6 Stars.

 Don't get locked up!, 7.14.2008
|
|
Reviewer: Ben Ross (Victoria Australia, )
|
One of the last things you want to do in a fight is have somebody else lock you up. Whether it be a headlock or whatever. You want to be able to escape from it quickly.
This dvd shows many different escapes from different holds. And this is important because the longer you are in a hold, the more chance his friends have to harm you, and they will if they get the chance. Get this dvd and you will learn how to escape the most common holds and go home at night to your family.
