DVD One: Avoidance & De-Escalation of Conflict:
A fight you avoid is the only fight you can truly and totally win and In my expereince you can avoid most fights and de-escalatte most hostile people. But you have to know how and you must not be controleed by ‘adolescent thinking’ or your ememy’s ‘mouth’. Either you are in contol of yourself or someone else is.
The bad guys out there aren’t looking for a fight really, but only a safe vitcim. So what you need to do is to not appear to be a safe victim to them. This material is the absolute backbone of actual self-defense in the real world, but you will never see any ot this taught at all in any martial arts school.
De-escaltion & Avoidance techniques $29 ppd
DVD Two: Striking With Power:
No matter how big or small you are you must learn to strike with the total power that your body & mind are capable of. At RMCAT, for many years now we have seen even Martial Arts trained people come here who simply have not learned to hit with their full power. The armored assailant allows us to show you directly how this is done and thus you will learn how this full power striking is accomplished. It isn’t really that difficult to learn to sttike with real power, but many MA trained people have not been taught this as there is a ‘safety issue’ in training and in tournaments to observe in the MA arena. But in the real thing, in actual combat you must deliver a full power, disabling stike on your attacker in a self-defense situation.
Striking With Power $29 PPD
DVD Three: Escapes, Ground fighting & other useful techniques
Here again we are not looking at Brazilian Jujitsu ‘ring techniques’ even as strong as that art is for the prize ring. Indeed, the Gracies and Machado brothers & Ricardo Murgel’s people have truly proved their point in that ring arena.
But a real fight just is not an atheltic contest of any kind or in any way. You do not need the skill of mulitple chaining techniques for the means to ‘gain the position’ so much in a real fight (if it goes to the ground). If you know the basics and have your ‘mind right’ then you can end a real fight on the ground in seconds.
Of course you want to stay off the ground if you can in any real fight, even Rorian Gracie, a living master agreed with me on that point. But he also told me “but you better know what to do if you find yourself there”. I must agree and that’s all that is in this instructionl DVD contains too, what you need to end the fight on the ground in the real world not the prize ring. This DVD also includes functional escapes from common holds like the bear hugs, hammer locks, grabs etc.Nothing fancy here, just what has proven to work.

Real Crimes/Real Criminals:
“Know your enemy and Know yourself and you will be safe in 100 battles’ Sun Tzu.
Once you see and hear these interviews that I made with killers, muggers, heroin dealers and armed robbers etc, you wil know exactly what Sun Tzu meantt by this statement above as written in his book’ ‘The Art of War” more than two thousand years ago.
You will hear it all from their own lips, how they choose victims to assault or rob, or rape. What you can do to make them ‘move on’ and look for another easier, safer and less alert victim. An ignorance of this lesson can get you killed or worse. You must come to fully understand the concept & mechanicss of ‘props’. Because without this understanding you can say something to an ex-con or other ‘human predator’ that to you is almost ‘nothing’ or totally “innocent’ on your part but to him it totally demands that he immdiately spill your blood or kill you on the spot.
I sincerely tell you that your understanding of how thes people ‘think’ and how they ‘got that way’ is truly the crtical concept you must understand fully in self-defense. An ingnorance of these people’s thinking regarding ‘props’ and being ‘dissed’ is more likely to keep you alive and unhurt than simply physical ‘technique skill’ alone will.
Technique skill alone is not going to always ‘cut it out’ there in the real world. As one convict said to me “You can’t fight every asshole out there, I mean, do you realize how many assholes there are out there? These people can stab or shot you repeqtedly over a careless word on your part. It’s best that you know what those words are (and what the attiudes they imagine they see in you) that trigger them to immediatte and often lethal violence.

Blitzkrieg Attacks: Knock Out blows from the bouncer trade.
I had a lot of fun makng this DVD with my very good friend and master instructor of reality based self-defense Mr. Bill Kipp. You even get to see me knocked off my feet by a woman using stun gun on me! I mainly show the reality of ‘light force knock outs’ in this program by actually demonstratng them on several volunters . Then by showing them to students and having them affect transitory knock outs on other voluteers. Anyone can do this type of knock out if they have their mind right, act pre-emptively and know how.
But let me qualify this too. Nothing works all the time or every time as far as technique is concerned in a real fight.That is just the plain truth of the matter. Some people are highly resistant to these KO strikes (non-reposnders) and some people are just so large you realy have to hit with great power for their knees to buckle and thus make them fall.
As a bouncer I used these strikes repeatdly as I felt a light transitory knock out was safer for me and the assaultive patron rather than getting into an uncontroled fight situation.
All that you see in this DVD is real, there is no ‘trick phtotography’ here or ‘play acting’ at all. When you see their knees buckle and the people spiral down to the floor, it is because they have been transitorially knocked out even by these rather light stirkes. Half the DVD shows you excatly how they work, and the other half teaches you just how to excute them yourself.

Defending Against the Sucker Puncher:
Thiz is a higher reolution remake of the first instructional video I ever made and I made it 25+ years ago. Many ‘net’ and ‘magazine article sources identify that old tape as being among the first ‘reality based self-defense’ videos (not a martial arts video) ever presented. Some have written that this tape was almost as instrumental in starting the ‘reality based self-defense training’ movement as my book “ A Bouncer’s Guide” was.
In this program you will learn the two basic techniques that I found most habitually effective in defeating the sucker puncher. There are basicaly two types of sucker punches, the ‘straight punch’ and the ‘hook’. If you can learn to defeat these two punches, then you have given yourself a chance to then ‘fight back’ and that’s the real key right there.
If you avoid the sucker punch, then the sucker puncher is suddenly ‘in a fight’ and he did not psychologically count on that happening either. This is something I discovered and exploited as bouncer very early on. When you beat the opening sucker puch most often oyu have then already beat the sucker puncher himself.
There is an element of ‘fine motor skill’ here, but once you get the ‘hang of it’ most anyone can stand right in front of you and through either shot as fast as they can to your head and you will be able to slip the block and redirect the strike and avoid being hit. This type practice is an ‘esential confidence builder’ too. You also will learn how aftre slipping the sucker shot ‘continous attack’ never gives your enemy a chance to then defend himself.

Defending Against the Blade:
Again this is moder remaks of video I did 25 years ago. Most martial arts defesnes against the blade are really ‘just part of the art’ and are semi-suicidal against a real knife attacker. I have been attacked with knives and cut on three occasions. But I have had knives pulled on me more than that. That experience really does mean something as far as teaching people how to survive a knife attack too.
I will not pretend that is easy either against a real world knifer. That real world knifer just will not attack like your dojo or dojang training partner does. The real knifer will attack like I was atatcked . And like I have seen repeatedly on prison video tape montiors where cons ambush and shank each other and often (but curiously enough not always) to the death. There is a lot of surprising and very important and usefull information in this DVD for most anyone about real knife attacks and how to avoid being killed by one.

BARROOM BRAWLING: How to Stay in one piece in the local Roadhouse
I made this tape about 23 years ago and it stands up today pretty dan well really. It opens with a bone crushing fantasy bar fight as myself, Mike Haynack and Marc Aninal McYoung ‘take on the crowd’ in response to a barroom attack on alll three of us.
This is ‘not just a technique DVD’ either.It gets into the critcal psychology of self-defense, the critical importance of your awareness and avoidance skills too. There is a breif look at different training methods for self-Defense as well.
One critcal concept here is learning to spot and respond immediately to the Angle of Attack. And stepping off the line of attack. It’s simple enough to do but as a bouncer and elsewhere I saw so many people fail to do this and thus hit the floor hard and immediately. You just do not have to be one of them.
There are only three angles of attack that are seen in the real world anyway, learn them and you can learn to most often avoid being hit by them, it is about as simple as that.The angle of attack is the same if it is with an empty hand or a contact weapon like a stick, knife, pool cue, tire iron etc.
Barroom Brawling $29 ppd
Advanced Combat Applications & Techniques:
This is mainly a technique instructional program. You will see the ‘Mad Chinaman’, Mike Haynack and myself, experienced bouncers all, demostrtaing and teaching you these techniques. We show the techniques we found useful form Aikido, Modern Arnis, Karate, and judo as well as some other systems. . You might find one or two that are good for you and you and that with practice you can ‘pull off’ in a real deal. But I have to say again, technique alone won’t cut it out there, you have to have your mind right. This program gets into that a bit as well.
