Main section Starts with the elbow and how its position relates to a persons balance and how to use arm drags and pulls to move his opponent off balance to give you an advantageous position to strike or set up a throw
Next is the knee and where to strike or push it to take their balance. Next the elbow and knee are combined with gives some good take down principles
These need to be practised then you can apply them to your particular style
The small of the back is used combined with a hand on the head leading to a harsh takedown. A slow progression and safety are emphasised throughout and how to move from manipulating one balance point to another
It continues all round the body in this manner and also shows how the body can be manipulated with push pull motions and how head positioning can affect balance.
A training method is shown to use balance points against a puncher starting with a compliant partner and gradually removing the compliance and increasing the speed
This seems like a simple subject but its knowledge and application can have excellent results
OVERALL A short DVD which does a good job of explaining the basics of balance and how the body works and how this can be used to your combative advantage. Best for those with some experience but also has plenty of techniques for beginners
7/10
