Acceptable for NHB sport fighting, but not street fighting.:
This is sort of a strange instructional DVD set. It's not bad information per se, more like just bad information for the stated purpose ("street" self defense). The premise that Simco continually stresses during the DVD is that you're learning to do BJJ against another guy who is doing BJJ in a street fight. Huh? The only way this highly improbably scenario would occur today is if you got into a fight with a classsmate from your BJJ class. The other 99% of the time, the guy is not going to be a BJJ... more info
It's neither jiu jitsu, nor is it for the streets:
this is one of the worst videos on real world combat i've seen. the techniques reviewed are very basic and, frankly, unrealistic for a street-fight situation. i just think Simco doesn't have much to teach in this area (or in jiu jitsu in general).
if you are serious about no-holds-barred fighting, you are much better off getting the 'secrets of chute boxe' by the Rua brothers, who are accomplished NHB practitioners and reasonably good teachers. for the disarming techniques and standing submissions,... more info
Nothing new here to see folks:
This one of the worst quality dvd's I have ever seen. Not to mention this DVD teaches you very little about REAL ground fighting.
I have found that simco dvd's are all the same, so by the lowest priced one and you have seen everything he knows! To tell you the true I've been in some nasty fights and I've seen alot more of them. The one thing is that I have never been in or seen a fight that men mount each other like that-- ever! you want to really see what happens in ground fighting ,watch the WWF on... more info
Gene Simco:
First off let me say that I am a Gene Simco fan. I really like the guy. This however is not his best dvd. It has Gene Simco in it so of course it has good info on jiu jitsu. It has really crappy music and weird colors though. Like sometimes the whole screen has a red or yellow tint to it for some reason. It is kinda distracting. However the meat and bones of the dvd is good. It will help you more if you already know some basic jiu jitsu but it's also fine for anyone. I am gald that I bought it.
