Martial Arts
The titles here were selected, not because they teach a particular art, but because the principles demonstrated can be applied to different systems. Often, in the commercialization of a system, important components are lost. By looking at different arts, one often can find concepts that were once part of your own system, but are now missing. For example, the Fighting Footwork of Silat/Kuntao series by Bob Orlando can be used to find lost trapping footwork within your own style. (Did you even know your style attacked with footwork other than kicks?) These titles provide principles and concepts that will help you in the understanding and application of your art.
On this page we offer a short description of the items. By clicking on the picture or title, you can get a more in-depth information on the product. The Order Now link will take you directly to check out.

Pukulan Pentjak Silat: The Devastating Art of Bukti Negara-Serak
(VHS)
Stevan Plinck gives you personalized instruction in the
techniques of Pukulan Pentjak Silat's explosive fighting art. He
begins by teaching the secrets of silat's upper body movements,
including how to cut the angle of an opponent's attack to instantly
neutralize it. He then teaches the devastating leg sweeps and foot
drags that destroy an attacker's lower body. In conclusion, he shows
you how to integrate upper- and lower-body movements into an
effective fighting combination.
Rick Hernandez leads you, step-by-step, through the
explosive footwork, kicking and striking methods of Filipino Kuntao.
He then shows how these components flow together to create a
virtually unstoppable fighting system.
Drawing lessons from the greatest boxers of all times --
Dempsey, Frazier, Ali, Sullivan and Patterson -- Ned Beaumont,
himself a seasoned and savvy street fighter, presents a
practical and proven guide on using boxing skills as a
self-defense art. This book helps you develop the hooks and
power punches of the champions. And it can give you the tools
from the insidious shovel hook, clever shift and classic left
jab to vicious combinations and back-alley dirty tricks to stop
an opponent in a real street fight.
Speed is one of the most important assets for a fighter.
Find out from a top martial artist and police officer how to
develop instantaneous reflexes and explosive speed for punching,
kicking, grappling and police defensive tactics. Improve
perception, polish timing and double your speed by using these
sure-fire techniques.
Based on his best-selling book Speed Training, this DVD
distills author Loren Christensen’s 40 years experience in the martial
arts into a comprehensive training program. He teaches you how to
“cheat” by improving timing and accuracy in both punching and kicking
through a series of dirty tricks that will have an opponent wondering
just what hit him.
Bob Orlando shows simple and advanced
partner drills that teach critical defensive
skills and the basics of combat movement.
The drills efficiently combine upper body
use (arms, elbows and forearms) and lower
art (knees and feet) techniques into a
skills set that develops fighting ability
and reflexes faster than any other training
method available.
In compiling this collection of essays,
Loren W. Christensen sought the true
meaning, the essence, of warriorhood by
going to the source, to those who live it.
The writers who contributed to this work are
a diverse mix from soldiers, cops and SWAT
officers to martial art masters to experts
in the fields of workplace violence,
theology and school safety.
A criminal assault is fast, vicious and
overwhelming. And that's why criminals attack
that way. It ensures their success. What you may
not know is that it takes time to develop these
conditions. This makes the street thug
predictable. There are definite danger signs
that precede criminal attacks. This video will
teach you how to recognize those signs so you
can take nonviolent steps to prevent the
criminal from attacking. And if the
situation does turn violent, you will learn how
to articulate to the police and courts important
details about the situation -- and why you
reacted the way you did.
