The instructor is knowledgeable; that's not the issue. In my opinion, it's presented in a fairytale manner; the training partners never resist. I feel the false expectations presented in this video could put a person in a worse position.Get back to the drawing board and drill some examples showing some real resistance and I'd be interested in revisiting.

Unrealistic and probably ineffective...
Highly unrealistic, highly choreographed moves. Focus on killing your oponent rather than defending yourself (provided the methods were effective...).

Not the most practical knife work, but good.
Exceptional quality production. The technic itself is from the "hapkido type" arts. In my opinion, not the most practical when dealing with a blade. Overall, good video for all martial artist.

Knife Defense
The martial art that I teach is Hapkido. I am always looking for new DVD's that instruct in certain self defense methods. As usually with most of the DVD's on the market, some of the techniques are applicable to the street and some simply will not work. This is the case with this DVD. This is not a DVD for the beginner, but for the more advanced student. If you know the art then you will be able to pick and choose the techniques that work. As for the instruction - it is excellent. The technique is rerun several times and then in slow motion and explained. Would I recommend it for the advanced martial art student - yes.

Good introduction to alternative knife defenses
Many locks and holds. Some are more complex and require excellent timing. Overall, interesting moves, and good explanations. More close-ups would help.

Train under a Master
Not for teaching/learning tool on one's own, awareness only.
