Solid instruction with a real life focus

"Because the instructor on this dvd (and it's companion volume 1) is a cop as well as a long-time jujitsu man, the instruction is combat oriented rather than sport style. There are some elements of sport style jujitsu but I liked the focus on more traditional teaching and the way you got both the offensive and defensive view of each technique. For most techniques, the instructor explains how to apply it then we get to hear from his partner about why the technique works and also how he would counter it. This is a really good teaching method and allows both training partners to work their skills, rather than one guy working on a technique and the other being the "crash test dummy". Excellent all around overview of jujitsu."

"This DVD is an excellent overview of true jujitsu. Both the grappling and striking sides of real jujitsu are taught from a combat perspective and not for sport. The techniques on this DVD are explained and demonstrated by the instructor with skill from a varity of angles making it east to learn if you have a good training partner and some basic martial arts skills."
