Self-Defense for Women: Simple Techniques

I put the DVD into a player, I don't recall changing any settings on my player, however it was in another language. I will have to check that again. The pictures told a story, and that was helpful. There was a lot of good common sense portrayed, that I did not even think about. Thank you!

This video was produced very well with simple highlights on how a woman should response if physically attacked plus great safety awareness and minimizing victimization. I have interest in developing a woman self defense program and this video helped me observe and reinforce what I was thinking of. It is important to educate a woman on what her natural weapons are and help her develop dexterity using them. Learn main targets like eyes, neck and groin to escape. An attack on a woman usually is more on the intimidation form and several types of threats. Therefore, she should be trained and educated in order to empower her how to respond in that moment of fractions of seconds. This video at minimum can help you get the wheels turning in that direction. It also has nice scenarios.

I have other videos and like them much better. I will keep this for others to borrow or watch.

There is no self-defense instruction in this video. Repetitive videos show you again and again common sense things like "don't leave your phone sitting on a table" and "if you're being followed onto a dead-end street, turn around and walk out" and "be watchful when approaching an ATM".

The other person who wrote a review on this product did not know what they were talking about. This DVD is a multi region DVD (Region 0.) It may not play if you have an old DVD player but otherwise you should have no problems. I have a gopy of this DVD and it works fine. Also the content of the DVD is very good. It was shot nicely and has very high production value.

This video was recorded in PAL, not NTSC and is NOT compatible with US playback equipment. Buy ONLY if you have PAL playback capability (European).-dtm-

Ich habe mir deutlich mehr erwartet. Ein paar gute Vorbeugungsmaßnahmen sind schon dabei, aber Techniken sind rar. Für das Geld wird wenig geboten und am Schluss wird einem nahe gehalten, doch einen Kurs zu besuchen. Was zwar sinnvoll ist, wenn man sich wirklich mit Selbstverteidigung beschäftigen will, aber die DVD absolut nutzlos macht. Es gibt bessere DVD's von Alain Formaggio, lieber eine andere nehmen, als diese bloß weil das Wort "Frauen-" davor steht.

Zéro

Franchement aucun réalisme dans les techniques proposées. Plus qu’inutÎle, ce genre de produit est dangereux ! Je l’ai visionné, le sourire aux lèvres.... puis direction poubelle’

Dvd très utile comme support pour les instructeurs des self défense . Je le recommande aussi aux autres disciplines autres que le self défense.

Si vous voulez apprendre des techniques de self defense idéales pour les femmes, vous pouvez passer votre chemin car ce très court dvd est intéressant à regarder mais c'est bien tout. On n'y voit rien qui soit suffisamment explicité pour se défendre, juste des situations avec des recommandations et les images sont répétées 20 fois. A la limite du supportable.
