Written Summary:

Are you concerned that the current grappling " craze " has made your own martial arts skill obsolete ? Does it seem that every martial artist these days is trying to learn " how to grapple " in order to keep up with the current fad ? If these things have bothered you, then this tape is for you. Leave it to Tony Blauer to help put this grappling business in a proper perspective relative to street self defense. Tony Blauer does not de-emphasize the importance of learning to fight on the ground nor does he de-emphasize the dangers in facing someone skilled in a grappling art ( BJJ, Shootfighting, even college wrestling ). Instead, this tape gives you the concepts and training methods to deal with an opponent in the street who elects to " grapple " with you.

This tape is absolutely loaded with information. It begins with Mr. Blauer talking briefly about the psychological components of street situations ( which is his signature material in my opinion ) and moves into the first volume ( about 1 hour ) which focuses on forcing the fight to stay standing. Mr. Blauer, quite reasonably, explains why and how not to go the ground if given a choice. The second volume discusses what to do if you should end up on the ground. Concept after concept come at you in this video. I have watched several of Tony Blauer's videos and I can only wonder " Why isn't this guy famous ? Why isn't this guy on network TV talking about this stuff ?". Seriously folks, if you're interested in learning about groundfighting ( not " grappling " according to Mr.Blauer ) and street self defense, then you must have this video. No question about it.
