The Greatest Martial Arts Teacher of All Time

This is a great article for Martial Artists from my friend Scott Bolan,
well worth reading.

Never stop learning!

From Scott Bolan:

Who is the Greatest Martial Arts Teacher of all time?

Is it the most famous one?

Is it the best-selling one?

I learned very early on that skill, fame, fortune and
even beauty do NOT always equal intelligence, integrity
or true quality!

For example, most men often assign intelligence, wisdom
and super powers to a woman simply because she is
outwardly beautiful.

We're socially programmed to do that, as popular culture
worships celebrity and appearance.

Most people watch hours and hours of sitcoms every night,
programming their minds with shallow, witty amusement.

The supposed winner in the sitcom is always the one with
the most sarcasm and clever jargon, as the canned laughter
rolls in.

This conditions us to be stimulated by pablum, having an
emotional response and seeking social proof and acceptance.

It is a process of mental castration of your Warrior's soul.

And just look at the famous actors who can't even hold a
marriage together or stay out of rehab, yet they feel they
are qualified to advise us on elections and foreign policy!

In fact, we often find that the more a person is worshiped
and adored for their talent, beauty or success, the more
their character begins to warp!

This is because of human nature - our animal side, the ego,
is the thing that usually defeats us in the end.

There is a transference of spiritual energy when we follow
the famous, and even when we choose someone as a teacher.

That's why it is vitally important to remember that
ultimately, the best teacher is the one who gives you
MORE POWER & CHOICES than you had before.

When your power and choices increase, you have more
freedom and strength.

That's what it all boils down to.

Years ago I opened a dojo literally 3 doors down from another
school.

"What will they think? Won't they be mad?" a friend said.

"I hope they would think it's a good thing.

Why would they be mad?

Let's make this street a Martial Arts mecca!" I said.

To me, it was like opening a Mexican restaurant next to an
Italian restaurant - no competition at all, simply more
choices!

I was teaching a belt-less system (Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do)
and the neighboring school was teaching Tae Kwon Do, a
formal belt system with a nice colorful rainbow of belts.

Many times a seeker would come in looking for a belt system
and I would send them down to the other school.

I must've sent that guy a few dozen students.

He never thanked me, and he forbid his students to study at
my school, or any other styles at all.

I encouraged my students to study any kind of different
style that interested them and to bring what they

learned back to our crucible of truth: the sparring mat.

My interest was simply in helping the students GROW and
become better and more resourceful.

Had I held them back from seeking, I would have been
restricting their growth.

For what purpose?

For ego, for money, for petty insecurities and selfish interests.

So I never hold them back, ever!

A little over a year later my school was the largest in the
area, and I had done almost no advertising.

The newspaper and local radio would often feature me.

It was a favorite of families, college students and professors,
executives, law enforcement and military.

The neighboring school, which had been there over 12
years, never grew.

Another year later and I sold my school for a handsome
profit, and the neighbor went out of business around the
same time, going completely broke.

I grew. I helped my students grow.

The neighboring school did not grow, He "restricted" his
students, and thus himself, and lost in the end.

The Greatest Martial Arts Teacher and Coach of all time,
is the one who expands your POWER and CHOICES, and
does not seek to limit you.

Because ultimately it's not about "him" (the teacher)
or "it" (the style or system), it's about YOU (the student).

Bruce Lee said that "all knowledge is self-knowledge"

Consensus and opinion polls do not give us the greatest
teachers, they only give us the most popular.

The greatest teacher may or may not be popular, but he
is the one who assists you in discovering your own path
to the Great Warrior within you.

Never "restrict" your learning, never restrict your student's
growth, and never stop growing and expanding your Power!

Sincerely,
Scott Bolan

Power Strikes Hit Harder Than A Heavyweight boxer In Just 37 Minutes 

HardCore Fighting Secrets Ultimate Self Defence

What I’m about to tell you may SHOCK you, offend you, or even
Thrill you at the same time, but you probably need to hear it.

In fact, we all do.

It's called "The Message of SURVIVAL" and it's not nice and feely-goody.

It's Brutal and hard-core.

And it's what every "realist" and "warrior" knows they must hear,
regardless of how uncomfortable it may be.

Be cause when your life is on the line, you need to know how to...

• End a fight in one Bold, Brutal, and Devastating move (not for the feint of heart!)

• Split the Biceps of your street attacker and CAUSE EXCRUCIATING PAIN

• Seize And Control Anyone

• "Trick" your attacker's brain so his body is easily broken

• The 3 Master Keys YOU MUST KNOW to do damage with every strike!

• Painful DAMAGE tactics to terrorize multiple attackers

• How To Beat a Ground-fighter (Not for those who can't handle BLOODY GORE)

• How to take an attacker’s Knife or Gun from them

• 3 Devastating ways to destroy a bigger, stronger, more experienced attacker

The above can be found in my in my all-new "Destroy Your Attacker" package course.

It’s the “for-survival-only” stuff that real martial artists must know.

Because when your life is on the line in a violent attack, this is what you need to
“end it quick.”

No fancy kicks.

No katas.

No boot-camp drills and sports rules.

Hey, I love all that stuff - drills and katas are great for practice.

But I find more and more instructors are leaving out Street Attack Reality -
the BRUTAL self-defense “how-to DESTROY your at tacker” when your life
is on the line, for the martial artist and regular-joe alike.

Because not all of us have time for learning fancy kicks and military drills.

But we still need to know how to stop an attacker DEAD COLD.

That's why I put together this controversial package of my most lethal,
end-it-quick, sure-fire moves and violent knowledge you’d want to save
your life.

It’s that simple.



If you're serious about effectively defending yourself, move quickly on this

Anthony Pillage

Production Quality: Video quality is fine with fairly static camera work. There are a few problems with the sound midway through when someone can be heard walking about and opening doors ,it is slightly distracting but doesn't last long

Intro The dvd starts with a 5 minute introduction from Russell Stutely in which he explains a little about himself and his studies of Chinese medicine and its application in self defence. He explains that his approach to pressure points is realistic and not esoteric. He also says that things must work under pressure and you need the self defence mindset of going in and getting the job done or else nothing will work,
The section concludes with instruction to take it easy with your partner and treat them with respect


LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET


Main section This part of the dvd explains how the body works in opposites and how to divide it into quadrants to identify weak areas of the body.
Different points of the body are pointed out such as the knee,elbow,shoulder and small of back and how they can be affected to take someone's balance. Attacking at an angle and how the balance points aren't static is also covered. He also goes into how to combine quadrants to enhance the effect and how misaligning the body helps further


OVERALL A short introduction dvd to to rest of the set which does a good job of explaining the basics of balance and how the body works 7/10

DVD 2 - POWER JOINT BREAKS AND PASSOUTS


LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET


This 2nd disc from Power Black 6 DVD Set covers chokes,strangles,neck cranks,a variety of arm locks ,a few wrist locks and a couple of take downs from the holds

IT CONTAINS OVER 18 DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES INCLUDING

● The “Spin and Pass out” a very cool choke performed with one arm (the person this is demonstrated on actually passes out when a very low level of force is applied)

● The “Hitch Hiker” a combination arm lock/neck crank and strangle that I've not seen anywhere else

● The “Lion Killer” a standard rear choke

● The “Power Black Lion Killer” a small adjustment to the entry technique makes a massive difference to the result

● The “Steering Wheel” a neck crank/head twist take down

Running Time: 38 mins approx (one dvd out of a set of 6)

Featuring: Russell Stutely
Master John Andrews

Production Quality: Very good quality,excellent camera work .The camera only zooms in when necessary to clarify a point and does not like many martial arts DVDs zoom all the time and obscure the techniques


LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET


The disc starts with a very short introduction from Russell Stutely explaining the contents of the dvd then its straight into the action

The first technique shown by Russell Stutely is the “Spin and Pass out” a one armed choke the explanation is clear and concise,explaining the entry technique and how to apply the finish. All the small details that make this effective are explained. This is a very tight choke and the person being demonstrated on actually does pass out

Next up is Master John Andrews with a cross choke for the street using an outdoor jacket rather than a gi. This is a technique that you will have seen if you have been involved in martial arts for any length of time ,but is set up with a nice entry and again the fine points that make it effective are explained thoroughly

The DVD continues in this format with Russell Stutely and Master John Andrews alternating demonstrating the techniques sometimes both showing a variation of the same technique ,sometimes a different one


LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET


Are these techniques effective? Yes very,these are simple no messing about joint locks,chokes,cranks and strangles. All demonstrated from at least two angles so you can get a clear idea of what is happening. In a major difference to most technique based DVDs they are shown with entry technique be it from a grab ,hold punch or whatever

Do I need to know pressure points to use these Power Black Joint Breaks and Pass Outs? No they rely on simple physics and leverage which are all explained in detail. References are made to points to release the neck and turn the arm but these are in addition to the main techniques,The cranks,chokes and locks are always set up with some kind of strike and sometimes a variety of strikes and movements are used to make room to apply them. References are made to spirals and waves to increase the power (found on disc 1 and players to the game) but these are on top of the main technique and often are overkill. These locks are absolute agony. You might think when watching that they are being exaggerated but when you try them for yourself you'll find out they most definitely not!

Yes you will have seen some of these moves before ,but not with the level of detail shown here and there are plenty more shown that you certainly won't have seen that are very effective

The rest of the moves cover defences against punches,grabs and various clinches,with some having an extra demonstration of a take down straight off the lock


LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET


OVER ALL A clear concise dvd with a fair amount of well described techniques,you will find plenty of easily applicable moves on this dvd

RATING 9/10

PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET REVIEW

3RD DVD Pressure Points In Grappling

The third disc from Pressure Points Black 6 DVD Set covers using black pressure points in grappling and stand up street defence


LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET


Running Time: 53 mins approx

Featuring: Russell Stutely
John Andrews

Production Quality: Video quality is good with demonstrations from various angles and some points zoomed in to clarify small details that make the locks/strike effective

Intro: Russell Stutely introduces Master John Andrews who performs all the techniques in this DVD. John Andrews currently holds the rank of 4th Dan in Ju Jitsu and 5th Dan in OCFM & is OCFM’s National Grappling Coach


LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET


Main section:
The first technique shown is a double palm (BAR technique) to enter against an aggressive assailant followed by a forearm to the neck leading to a standing neck crank,a simple effective technique
The next move is against a double wrist grab ,although I don’t think this method of attack is as common as people make out ,he does point out that you should start your counter as soon as possible and not let them lock on their attack. This technique is a wrist lock but is made effective by a number of strikes en route to the lock.
A Wicked arm bar against a double lapel grab is shown next this is a very good lock and should be practised with great care
A few more standing attack counters are shown before moving onto a section dealing with take down attempts
Punch defences are demonstrated ,there are pressure points used but they are always coupled with striking so you aren’t left hanging fiddling about trying to find a tiny point. You are shown how to easily hit numerous points at once and follow ups if you miss or the strike/lock is ineffective
Take downs and throws are shown followed by a lock or strike to incapacitate an assailant ,fine points are emphasised which makes all the difference in making these moves effective,including how to best use your strength and safety considerations
Next up is a section showing various judo/bjj control positions on the ground again with tweaks and variations to increase their effectiveness. A drill is shown to help you learn how to flow from position to position and control your opponent
Escaping guard is shown,leading to ankle locks and some good detail on neck cranks
The DVD finishes with a section on arm bars and neck cranks from mount


OVERALL: A pretty good DVD plenty of content and just enough repitition without wasting space. Street and sport applications are shown and there is something for everyone. As with all instructional DVDS I have found some techniques just don't work for some people and certainly won't work if you dont train them. Train hard train safe 9/10 (experienced grappler 7/10)

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 5

Pressure Points

- How To Learn Part 5

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

I get asked this question all the time "What are your favourite Points?". Well apart from the obvious "Whatever I can hit at that moment in time" I do have a few that I just "gel" with.
 
I will give you the point name and then you can look them up if you wish:
St5
GB20
St4
LI18
St25
Lv/GB Crossing
GB31
Sp6
Sp9/10
St12
 
Now... what I would do if I was starting again in learning points and armed with the above information... is TRAIN those Points like mad...Find out where they are... see if I can attack them in training. Find different ways to utilise them.
 
Hit them, grind my elbow into them, grind my thumb upto the 2nd knuckle into them.
 
Basically train them till I "owned them".
 
Make sure that I knew what they did, how they worked and why they worked.
 
Just doing that with the above Points will give you a TON of great training time.
 
Remember to use the safety protocols previously mentioned.

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 4

Pressure Points

- How To Learn Part 4

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

Well.. Now is the time to move onto the "meat and potatoes" of how to use and make Pressure Points work for you!
 
Let's assume that you have read and understood the previous 3 articles and that you accomplished the following:
 
Learnt and understand Balance
Learnt and understood Power Generation
Learnt and understood how to dissect techniques
 
Now.. assuming that you have done the above, we can move onto the Points themselves and start to learn HOW to apply them.
 
It really is this simple... pick some points to practice.. a few on the arm , torso and head to start with.
 
It does not matter which ones.. but I would advise the following:
 
Arm: L5 / LI10/11
Torso: St25 / Lv/GB Crossing
Head: GB20
 
Now move back to your technique analysis and see where and when any / all of these points become available to you! Start S-L-O-W-L-Y and A-N-A-L-Y-S-E correctly.
 
When a point is available.. HIT IT.. .BUT START LIGHT.. It is better to get NO REACTION then hit too hard and hurt your training partner.
 
When you strike the point.. you MUST ensure that your strike has penetration.. simply hitting the surface of the skin WILL NOT WORK... Doing this will give the usual results that MOST people get... i.e a mixed reaction.
 
Now.. onto the safety parameters:
 
Your training partner and you will have a numbering system - from 0 to 10
0 = nothing, no pain, no reaction
10= you hit me far too hard you stupid ?)*ing idiot.. now its my turn
 
Start around the 2-4 area and G-R-A-D-U-A-L-L-Y build up to 7-8
 
Now.. REMEMBER this... the numbering system is for the person being HIT... not for the hitter. Your no 5 could be your training partners 10 and vice versa.. so ALWAYS start light and then together you will find a power level that you can work at.
 
By ensuring that you keep to this safety protocol you can train points longer and more rapidly than crashing strikes home to see the effect.
 
Once you have done this with all your techniques and started slowly and built up to a decent pace, we can then move onto making the points EVEN MORE effective and also onto pressure testing what you have done so far

LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET


Running Time: 25 mins approx

Featuring: Russell Stutely
Ian

Production Quality: Video quality is fine with fairly static camera work everything is clear and in full view at all times. There are some background noises of doors closing but these are fairly faint and don’t detract from the production

Intro: At the start of the DVD Russell Stutely explains about how during sparring,training or even real fights or sports fights sometimes you will put what you think is everything into a technique yet it ends up having little effect ,but conversely a seemingly effortless light shot can result in a knockout. He explains how techniques are broken down into little separate parts that make them effective when combined and how you should strive to understand what makes a technique work and aim so that every technique is effortless yet effective.


LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET


Main section: The main section of the DVD shows a number of these small parts of a technique or technique enhancers and how they can be used. The first is a heavy hand so that when a shot lands it is more powerful because of the heavy hand,A drill is shown so that you can develop this heavy hand. It can be anything a heavy,foot,head,shoulder, elbow strike or even the whole body for a clinch or grappling situation.
He stresses the importance of practising and getting the principle into your mind so that you will always have it available.
Next is the waveform which is a way of optimising the whole body and coordinating its power and weight into a strike. He demonstrates how this works with a close quarter elbow to the body explaining how the weight shifts and supplies the drive which adds the massive power to the strike. He also explains how the first two technique enhancers can be combined for greater effect even before you add in the rest which are shown on this disc. A drop step is shown which is a classic method of adding power and drive to a strike.
The next technique enhancer is vibration which sounds odd but is clearly explained so you can understand how to use it to enhance your technique ,it is shown dropping Ian just from an arm grab! A method is shown so you can practise this technique using your TV and how to escape from grabs and holds using vibration,sounds weird but it works well. Breathing is added to the mix to increase the power of strikes remembered by think it ,breath it ,do it.



OVERALL: A very good DVD that shows numerous easy to learn and apply concepts that can be used to enhance techniques whether for pressure point knock outs,self defence or sport fighting 9/10

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 3

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 3

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

OK... I think I have made my point about the importance of Balance and how you should understand this subject inside out, upside down and the wrong way round... as they say!
 
The next area that you need to understand BEFORE you even start to learn Pressure Points is Power Generation or as we call it Waveforms.
 
I often get asked this question:"I see people on the net doing light touch K.O's, so why do I need to learn to hit hard to use Pressure Point's?"
 
There is a simple and easy answer to this:
 
Most of those clips are fake in one way or another
The genuine ones are DEMO'S
 
So, we can ignore the fake ones.. Onto the genuine ones... they are DEMO'S.
 
This means that they are demonstrations of what CAN be achieved... there is NO animosity in any attack etc etc. This is the reason they can go so light and make it work.
 
Once you start to up the aggression, speed and ferocity of the attack, so you must up those same qualities in the defence. This is where there is a real danger of doing too much damage... which would bring us onto a another area.. how to train Points correctly and safely.. which I will cover over the coming weeks.
 
This is the EXACT reason why we need to be able to hit like a freight train on steroids...We MUST have real stopping power in all our strikes. We MUST be able to hit that hard that it does not matter if we "miss" the point!



LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET WHICH WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO HIT HARD AND HOW TO KNOCK SOME ONE OUT WITH PRESSURE POINTS


 
I like to put it this way... If in a fight I see an opportunity to strike St5 on the Jaw... I want to hit that point so hard that I snap the jaw in half... if I hit the point great.. job more effective.. If I miss the point.. so what? I am still hitting really f$%^ing hard.. so wherever I land my shot should hurt!
 
What Are Waveforms?
They are NOT strikes
A waveform is a whole body movement that MASSIVELY increases the efficiency and effectiveness of what you are doing
It is a method to generate as much of your bodyweight through a given technique as possible
 
It MUST ALSO be understood that this should not be at the detriment of other areas such as, your own balance, ability to move, ability to defend etc.
 
Out and out power is great and obviously works.. but only when you have made that moment in time to land your shot... unless you happen to just connect of course!
 
So, the waveform movement can be applied to each and every technique, from each and every art to increase the effectiveness of that technique. The waveform is nothing more than a study of the planes and ranges of movement as applied to the Martial Arts, in the context of power generation, efficiency of movement, speed and ease of operation.
 
When I teach this area of what we do.. I can usually DOUBLE everyones striking impact in under ONE hour.. and in fact proved this live on DVD for New Approach Publishing (NAP) during the filming for Power Black 6 DVD Set
 


Don't worry.. we will move onto Pressure Point stuff next time! Promise!

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 2

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 2

BY RUSSELL STUTELY
 
OK.. how does learning Balance Points help with learning Pressure Points?
 
This is a bit like one of those "trust me" times. There are certain parts of the Martial Arts that we REALLY need to understand BEFORE we start to learn Pressure Points. Balance Points is one of those aspects that MUST be understood to gain the most benefit from Points.
 
Not only to gain the most benefit, but also to enable you to learn and apply the Pressure Points at a VASTLY increased rate.
 
BP's are one of those aspects that seem to be most overlooked by most Martial Artists... It is ALWAYS an eye opener when these areas of the body are shown, explained and trained. Those from a grappling background for example are able to make use of them immediately in their throws and takedowns... and then on the ground as well... especially once they understand the "principles" upon which this is based.
 
I like to quote these lines in order to show the MASSIVE importance of Balance:


BALANCE POINTS


 
"If your opponent is completely OFF-Balance and using all their strength and ability to try to regain it.. meanwhile you are IN distance and completely IN-Balance you are in a position to hit them with everything you have got. Do you think this has increased your chances of success?"
 
"If you rob your opponent of his balance, it does not matter how big or strong he is at that moment in time... he will be using all his strength to try and re-gain his balance"
 
"If you have someone on the point of Balance you can put them down or unbalance them with the strength of one finger"
 
Hopefully you can now appreciate the importance of Balance?
 
Soon I will move onto the next area that should be understood BEFORE you start to learn PP's

MAIN SECTION :
The first principle shown is how to hit hard with the right hand,covering alignment of the feet and his preferred choice of fist.
Small details are supplied about the whole principles of power striking which really do help enhance your power (I found these helpful and have 14 years striking experience and over 10 teaching),followed by how to strike properly and powerfully with an elbow,the alignment for maximum ko power is gone over in great detail and the precise manner and order that various body parts “fire”
The next strike covered is a bare knuckle shovel hook,with particular focus on the driving hip and heel and also the jab in a similar manner
The instruction here is very detailed and really breaks down the mechanics of striking hard with the whole body,it is then shown applied to a slap
The next section is Russell demonstrating on Herol the principles of balance.How to disrupt your opponents body to set up a strike or takedown.Various methods are shown attacking the elbows,knees ,hip,spine head etc.Although techniques are shown the main thing to take from this is the principles (as the title of the disc implies) you can then come up with numerous methods on your own.

OVERALL: This is a very good start to the set covering power striking and disrupting your opponents balance ,this is all solid material. There are no fancy esoteric moves just easy straight forward (but very useful) principles that can be learned from the DVD 10/10 this is my favourite Russell Stutely production so far

LEARN MORE ABOUT BALANCE POINTS 2010


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

BAR 2010



Running Time: 42 mins approx



Production Quality: Broadcast digital quality static camera and good sound quality ,no problems with sound quality

Intro The production starts with Russell Stutely explaining a little about pre fight situations and what is happening in an attackers mind. He then explains the basic mechanics of the BAR a hands up reflex action


LEARN MORE ABOUT BAR 2010


Main section The first drill demonstrated is Russell standing with his eyes closed as his partner moves round him banging focus mitts together and as soon as he hears it Russell throws the BAR

Secondly it is demonstrated on a partner who is grabbing him,later shown with a head guard on with a harder strike which produces a good result of the attacker being knocked back and unable to fight for 3 seconds

Thirdly it is shown as a pre emptive strike again the partner is floored and out for about 6 seconds. It is a powerful shocking strike,giving you time to strike again or escape.


LEARN MORE ABOUT BAR 2010


Later drills step up the pressure with the partner using a boxing glove grabbing and trying to strike Russell ,again the partner is floored instantly through a head guard and the strike was not thrown full power.
Pressure is stepped up again with both partners wearing shin guards and a low kick/sweep is added to the BAR,then extra strikes are applied
A waveform is applied and then BAR is applied to the arms and followed with a head butt

It ends with a discussion of the effectiveness in cutting down reaction time of BAR and how not to think of it as a fight finisher but more a set up for other techniques

OVERALL A quick easy DVD to watch which will give you a way to short circuit the decision making process give you a good first strike ,which buys you time to follow up or escape. Ideal for self defence and particularly for those without much time to practise. 8/10

RUNNING TIME: 1 hour 49 mins approx (this is only one disc from a set of 5)

FEATURING: Russell Stutely

PRODUCTION QUALITY: Video quality is fine with fairly static camera work. There are no sound problems and everyone demonstrating is clearly seen against the white background

INTRO: The DVD starts with a short introduction from Russell Stutely in which he explains a little about himself and his studies with numerous self defence and martial arts experts,to come up with this system which is easy to learn,replicate and teach.

He says that this method of power generation will double your power with half the effort. He relates it too how a silver back gorilla strikes with relaxation and a heavy strike. It is for the novice and experienced martial artist alike.

Before the main section he describes common mistakes people make relating to power generation ,mostly too much tension and incorrect foot positioning

MAIN SECTION :
This part of the DVD explains how the basic exercises are performed and how the body moves. Steve demonstrates the incorrect version of the exercise and Pete the correct version as Russell explains.

Four basic exercises are shown which are later used in combination to generate power in strikes later in the DVD

Next the basic exercises are shown on focus mitts strike shields which gives you a method of training and an idea of how much force you are generating. Hammer fists,slaps and backhands are shown and also in application.

Peter Holmes then demonstrates the waveform principles as they apply to a straight punch and a hook and also shovel hook

Russell later shows elbows ,pushes and head butts,locks and escapes
Peter shows a leg kick using the principles and how to spin and move your opponent to either choke him or push him away

OVERALL: This is a very good follow along DVD,which takes you right through from basic ,easy exercises to applying the waveform principles with a variety of strikes and grappling motions. If you have seen clips from this set you may think that the effects are exaggerated but they really arent. If you follow carefully you will learn how to hit very hard. The instruction is clear and simple,can anyone do it? Pretty much most people should be able to follow this and increase their striking power 10/10
