The pre-emptive strike is known in the world of self defense as “the only consistently reliable self defense technique”. But that is only if you know when and how to do so. This lessons you not only how to throw an effective pre-emptive attack, but how to tell if your attacker is about to strike by watching for a few tell-tale signs.

Pre-emptive kicking goes into the concepts and exercises that allow you to use your feet to end the fight before it even begins.

The drills and exercises here show you what to do when you are on the defensive, and must counter a punch to avoid getting hit.

What do you do if a larger person grabs you? What about a bear hug? Or a wrist lock? This lesson will provide you with the knowledge and the tools to deal quickly and effectively with such an attack.

With MMA (mixed Martial Arts) being the latest craze, more and more people want to take the fight to the ground. In a street fight it is not only dangerous to fight on the ground, it can be downright suicidal. Countering the tackle shows us how to spot a tackle in its earliest stage giving us time to respond and stay on our feet.

At the right distance, a single kick sustained to your knee or groin could be enough to cause permanent injury. In Counter Kicking, Adam teaches you how to safely respond to and deal with a kick from your attacker.

When on the offensive you’re bound to have some of your attacks blocked. This DVD shows you how to continue your attack without becoming susceptible to counters.

When on the offensive, your attacks will cause your opponents body to trigger one of a few “flinch responses”. The cover is the most common as it is very effective in reducing the amount of damage sustained. This lesson will show you how we can use it’s predictability to choose our targets and end the fight.

When we are forced to fight, we must not let up until the fight is over or until we have made enough time for an escape. Giving your attacker any breathing space will allow him to recover (and probably pull a weapon). This lesson deals specifically with preventing your attacker from getting the second chance he needs to turn you into a victim.
