Ground Pounding will teach you about the harsh realities of street fighting! Here you'll see "live combat footage" of a CFA ground pounding class. This "raw footage" dvd includes 12 fights with complete still frame combat analysis from the expert himself - Sammy Franco! In this dynamic dvd you'll see beginners against intermediate fighters, small guys against gigantic assailants, stand up combat and ground fighting performed under "extreme environmental" conditions. Learn how to defeat your adversary by avoiding some of the most common mistakes made in a street fight.

This dvd also includes: square off confrontations, de-escalation errors and mishaps, eye raking skills, body slams and throws, common ground fighting and grappling errors, choking techniques and escapes, punishing arm locks, cranks, punching and kicking errors, explosive compound attack skills, leg blocks, kicking from the ground, sucker punches, foot sweeps, low line kicking techniques, effective pummeling skills, sprawling against the leg tackle, single and double leg takedowns, positional asphyxia, and environmental mishaps.

Also includes: the stop hit fallacy, defending against low-line kicks, desperation tackles, kicking from the ground, common head locks, grappler immobilization holds, the most and least preferred targets when ground fighting, environmental and auditory distraction tools, symptoms of combat apprehension, double leg grapevines, lapel choke limitations, knee and elbow strikes from the ground, stacking the guard, and much, much more. NOTE: This is a not a polished studio dvd. It's Raw and Hard Core!

DVD Details: GROUND POUNDING is a multi-regional dvd and will play anywhere in the world. Approximate running time: 1 hour and 28 minutes.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 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!

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 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.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Awesome!, 5.15.2009
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.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 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.

 

4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 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.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 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!

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Learn Through Watching, 9.21.2008
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.

 

4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 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.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 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.

 

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 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.
