Written Summary:
This is the fourth
tape that I have reviewed that featured Peyton Quinn and the more I see of Peyton
Quinn, the more I like what he has to teach. Some people would consider this video
as very basic. BUT Peyton Quinn takes some basic stuff and breaks it down in more
detail than I have ever seen before in a video. The majority of the tape is devoted
to learning how to defend yourself against the two most common hand attacks, the
right hook and the overhand straight right. One of the many fundamental points made
by Mr. Quinn is that you don't need five thousand techniques against every attack.
In fact, Mr. Quinn believes that too many techniques can work against most martial
artists. He takes two similar techniques against the right hook and overhand straight
right and shows how to make them work for you. Mr. Quinn proceeds to different applications
of the same techniques such as when you are in a sitting position when attacked.
This
is one of those videos that if I had only 2 hours to teach somebody how to defend
themselves in a barroom situation, then this is the kind of lesson I would give to
them. This material would make a great " introductory " lesson to anyone
interested in learning " street " self defense. This tape is nearly 2 hours
long which makes it the best " bang for the buck " that I have seen to
date. While I have not seen all of Peyton Quinn's videos, this is definitely the
best of the ones I have previously reviewed (Blitzkrieg Attacks, Black Medicine,
Barroom Brawling). You definitely get your money's worth and then some on this video.
