Simple and straight forward

"This is an instructional video: the techniques are very simple and easy to follow at home even if you have absolutely no martial arts experience. This will turn you off if you're looking for a video for entertainment only.

Most martial arts videos know that flashy techniques sell, but are really not training videos from the standpoint of someone who is new to the art, or inexperienced in martial arts. These are practical techniques for which you are intended to practice repeatedly, over and over, until they become second nature.

People who are serious about practical self-defense will appreciate this video.
