Written Summary:
For those readers who
have seen Street Safe #1 (by TRS video and also featuring Paul Vunak), this video
is a continuation of the material presented on that video. While Street Safe #1 claims
to teach people to defeat " 95% of all street attacks ", this video series
is intended to teach people how to defeat the remaining 5% of street attackers (meaning
people who may be better trained or more sophisticated about fighting in general).
The material presented here is straight out of Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun Kung Fu
and if the viewer has been exposed to either of these two arts, then he will feel
right at home. Mr. Vunak begins with a review of the techniques shown in Street Safe
#1 and moves on to a basic discussion of the major fighting ranges. From here, we
are treated to Mr. Vunak demonstrating single trapping, multiple trapping arm wrenches,
foot sweeping, joint locks and some very basic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu type groundfighting.
There is a sobering segment on the use of a few potentially lethal techniques and
we are warned by Mr. Vunak that these techniques are not for use on "people
who cut you off in traffic".
This video will definitely help to make
you a better fighter. If you have any training in arts that emphasize fighting in
trapping range, then you probably have already been exposed to some of the material
on this video. Still, it is a well made video and Mr. Vunak is a his colorful best
explaining how to execute the techniques. This is a good no nonsense approach to
street fighting that will be of some benefit to most martial artists.
