"Really
enjoyed your videos. Volume I is especially good, even for people
with no martial arts training."
Kathy Lantz, Kingston, PA
"Outstanding
on Street Self Defense! I am a black belt in TKD...I am sure it
will help me if I get attacked on the street...let me know if
you make any other videos."
Harold Siemens, Charlotte, NC
"It
was an awesome video. I'm really looking forward to perfecting
the defense moves along with my daughters."
"Dear
Shihan Pace,
I've only been through the first video of the two-volume set,
and already I've gotten my money's worth. Simple and straightforward
instruction, yet highly effective techniques. This is good stuff
that everybody should know. Keep up the excellent work! "
Jim Johnson, Defence for Personal Safety
Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada
"Highly
recommended! I've viewed a lot of self defense courses on the
market today, but none that I have seen come close to the quality
and amount of techniques as this course offers! It's like an encyclopedia
of self defense! If you're looking for a comprehensive course
in self defense, this is it! Easily worth twice the price!"
Sifu Trey Crake
Madison, MS USA

From
a high school student.
"I
am a sophmore and probably the smallest guy in my grade...Bigger
guys terrorize me and try to make me fight...The defense against
the sucker punch and straight punch will help greatly...Thank
you so much."
Corey, Surrency, GA
From
a Senior.
"Greetings
from Michigan, Just a positive word of thanks for the useful info
provided by Vol I & Vol II of Street Defense 101.
I'm
a senior now (older than dirt!), and enjoy doing a bit of RV travelling
with my sweet wife of 50 years. When I was younger I could do
ok defending myself using mostly strength, and very little technique.
But with age, loss of muscle mass due to bouts with health issues,
etc, I know I'm vulnerable (as well as my wife!), if we run into
a threatening situation. So I'm taking your lessons very seriously
to include having my eldest son come over to help with the drills.
He, and the family feel reassured by what I'm learning! So thanks
again, and know I'll be getting more of your DVD's as I go along.
Sincerely, Joe & Angie "
Joe Johnson, Battle Creek, MI
"Thank
you, this video is uncommon, the experience, the passion, the
training, the techniques... In one word this video is extraordinary!"
Didier Samama, New York, NY
"I
have studied various styles for almost 15 years. I really enjoy
the simple yet effective techniques you demonstrate in the Self
Defense 101 videos. This is what I wish I had been taught all
along! "
John Kreuser, Kenosha, WI
"
Your video's are truly amazing. Thank you for your contribution
to the world of self-defense. I am going to get the women's defense
video of yours for my fiance` and mother as well, because after
I showed them the 2 volumes I purchased they were sold. But as
I said before, thank you!"
Andrew Howard, Cape Coral, FL
"I
just received your videos and started watching them. I have been
in the martial arts for about 12 years now. I'm a law enforcement
officeer in the state of Florida, so as you can imagine, self
defense is very important to me.
I
have tried several different disciplines over the past 12 years
including Kempo, Kung Fu, Karate, Judo, Ju Jitsu, Tae Kwondo,
and Ti Ang Lang.
I
have had these videos for about three days now and have learned
a lot of very useful stuff. It's easy for me to learn...but my
wife...has been watching the videos with me and has picked up
on everything in the first video already.
Since
viewing the first video, I have had several encounters in the
jail that in most cases would have gone to a physical confrontation.
While two of these did, they were unavoidable. The others I was
able to use the assertive posture technique that is demonstrated
in the first video and very quickly the prisioners backed down...The
other two that went physical were over and the prisoners in cuffs
before my SGT. could make it out the the Taser.
These
videos have been the best self defense investment I have made.
Thank you Shihan Pace.
"
Officer C. Richards, Crawfordville , FL
"I
just gave the first of your two videos a preliminary viewing and
I am impressed with how simple yet effective the demonstrated
defense moves are. The moves look like they would devastate an
attacker who doesn't expect you to fight back and would give you
a decent fighting chance with an attacker who is ready for you
to fight back. "
Thomas Joseph Rondy , South Milwaukee, WI
"Mr.
Pace your vidoes are AWESOME!!!!!!! I love them keep up the GOOD
WORK... Thanks again."
Sean Russel, Pleasant Hill, MO
"I
received your Self-Defense videos Volume I and II today. I viewed
Volume I tonight. I must say, this video is awesome. Very straight
forward, and very easy to learn.
I've
been in Jiu Jitsu for a few years. I know quite a big about it,
but there was a lot of stuff in it that I knew would never work
in a street fight. Your video shows very good stuff, and it covers
every imaginable attack. It's very straight forward and VERY VERY
easy to learn.
You're
method is much better and more effective. I really like your video,
and would definitely recommend it to others as well as purchasing
more videos from you! Thank you so much for making this video,
it is great."
Jeff Hoffman, Antioch, IL
"Street
Self Defense 101 demonstrates self-defense techniques that are
easy to practice using natural body movements and a mental disposition
for handling threatening situations."
Don Beekman, Rockaway, NJ
"I
was very excited when I found these videos, and I was not disappointed
when I finally watched them. I have been doing martial arts for
a couple of years and your videos have added so much more knowledge
to my studies. The videos were very practical, useful and easy
to follow. Please keep me posted in the future on any others available."
John Cole Cooper, Orem, UT
"I
found these videos a great tool. I appreciate being able to learn,
teach and practice at home. I have children that I worry about
constantly. I feel as a parent it is my responsibility to prepare
my children for all of life's challenges and possibilities."
Tammy Metz, Lebanon, PA
From
a senior citizen.
"Turning
65 made me nervous about being able to protect myself on the street.
Your video gave me clear and easy to remember techniques and helped
me to regain my cofidence."
Daniel Petrie Sr., Hackettstown, NJ
"I
have two boys and a girl, 14, 15 and 10 years old. The boys wanted
to to learn karate, mostly for self defense and skip all the forms
and belts. Your videos provide this and we can do it together
at our own pace."
Kevin Akerman, Milan, OH
"Hello
Michael, I ordered your Street self defense videos and they are
excellent. I've taken a little taekwondo but I haven't seen anything
like these videos, they are great."
Anthony Walls, Dallas TX
"I
have seen the Street Self Defense videos Vol. I and II by Michael
Pace and believe the techniques shown to be simple to understand
yet practical and useful, both physically and mentally, especially
for smaller and weaker persons."
"I
look forward to other courses from you."
Willim Cheng, Phayao, Thailand
"These
tapes are excellent! I teach taekwondo at Walla Walla College
and plan to incorporate these effective, real world techniques
into my classes. Thanks!"
Dan Calzaretta, Walla Walla, WA
From
another senior citizen.
"As
a 77 year old senior citizen attacked by a 50 year old bully,
I found your Self Defense Video 101 exactly what I needed. I am
now ready to defend myself with a minimum amount of exertion and
able to inflict enough pain to discourage any attacker. Thank
you. "
Owen M. Bannon, Venice, FL
"I
received your tapes and have viewed them. May I compliment you
on the quality of the presentation within the video, you and your
assistants, did a great job.
I
was very pleased with the standard of the packaging, they were
well parcelled, nicely presented and I appreciated the wee thank
you card that accompanied them.
I
have sometimes felt ripped off by some so called Martial Arts/Self>
Defence videos. This is not the case with yours, you guys clearly
know what you are talking about. A great product!"
Dr Ray Pulman, Sensei Belfast Kyushindo Zen Judo
Club
Northern Ireland
"I
have found your videos to be great and very well done. As an auxillary
police officer I think the knowlege will serve me well. I watch
them over and over and practice when I can. I look forward to
future videos I can obtain. Thank you."
John Lascari, Shirley, NY
"Very
simple and easy to follow. The techniques are effective and can
be modified to different situations."
Ken Rollings, Brazil, IN
Correctional Officer
"I've...
been studying Jiu Jitsu for three years. These tapes are excellent
in presenting the necessities of a street fight. The training
on handling a 'potential' altercation alone is worth the value
of these tapes. I wish that was taught in my classes..."
Richard Caputo, South Beach, NY
"I
ordered these two tapes in hopes of maximizing my self defense
techniques. If I hadn't viewed these vhs tapes, I wouldn't have
been able to have the confidence that I can defend myself."
Justine A. Williams, Sulphur, LA
"Thank
you for Street Self Defense 101 videos...I was very impressed
by the simplicity and the common sense approach of your techniques."
Michael Hirst, West Midlands, United Kingdom
"Going
to karate or martial arts school can cost hundreds, maybe even
thousands per year. Spending under $50 for this video is than
worth what you pay for. I think you receive more than what you
bargan for especially with the additional training against lethal
weapons."
Rudy Haniff, Stockton, CA
"Street
Self Defense 101 delivers! The presentation is well delivered
and the explainations clear and easy to follow. The techniques
practiced are practical and consistent with the theme of simplicity
and effectiveness. Highly recommended."
Holmeng Wong, Auckland, New Zealand
"Simple,
yet effective techniques which can provide a good foundation for
the serious martial artist... but simple enough that even my grandmother
could pull off!"
Jonathon Torres, Lincohton, NC
"I
think your tapes were quite good."
Jack W. Kittinger
Kil's Black Belt Academy, Livonia, MI
"I
found these tapes to be very realistic in techniques taught. It
was made for me the novice, with simple but highly effective defenses
but also has material that was of interest to the person with
prior self defense knowledge."
Mandy Martini, Cranbrook, BC, Canada
"I
recently began Taekwondo classes and have found these tapes to
very helpful in quick response, real life situation training.
I look forward to reviewing them again and again and sharing these
skills with family and friends."
Todd Waldron, Las Vegas, NV
"Great
Videos! Well illustrated with good camera angles. Techniques were
well explained, simplistic and effective. Perhaps the best ground
techniques available!"
Joseph T. Green, Baton Rouge, LA
"These
videos are just what the average man or woman needs. Being a green
belt in Taekwondo it is evident that a fast simple technique is
needed to protect oneself in order to stop and attack and get
away. My wife learned quickly due to the almost fatherly voice
and guidance. Thank you."
Gary Wallner, Milwaukee, WI
"Videos
are informative, excellent presentation, explaination. Direct
and simple."
John Connolly, Jackson, NC
"Your
videos were very instructive and personal. I am that much more
confident about my intuition when my adrenaline is in high gear.
Thank you!"
Troy Hatcher, Cooper City, FL
"(videos)...it's
great help for me being a small women. I needed basic ideas to
defend myself."
Kimberly Mehl, Sangus, CA
"Your
videos are a great product. I never knew how to escape from such
holds...Thanks. "
John Kennedy, Martinez, GA
"I
have watched numerous self defense videos and found that the Street
Self Defense 101 Volume I and II provided easy to follow methods
that can be used by anyone for real self defense. For me after
reviewing all the tapes I have seen, the video Street Self Defense
Volume I and II by Shihan Pace is the easiest to understand and
follow and includes nearly all the techniques I found useful from
the other tapes."
Arnold Martin, Port Saint Lucie, FL
"Just
the confidence booster I needed. I now feel I have the edge I
didn't before. Thanks!"
James Lehor, Alta Loma, CA
"These
videos are outstanding and very detailed. I think that anyone
who views your videos are able to see this defense system will
work for them. It is very nice dealing with your company.!"
Don Learned, Stockton, CA
"I
enjoyed the simplicity of the techniques. The common sense approach
of doing what is needed...Mr. Pace explains everything so you
have no questions about what you have just viewed."
Bob Hasson, Middletown, NY
"95%
of what I learned in the U.S. Navy, and as a teenager in the martial
arts is gone from my memory due to a catastrophic head injury
that I suffered several years ago while in the service."
"Master Pace has managed to compile the meat of the art of
self defense into a series of simple to understand segments that
directly address the most common dangers when confronted in life
by someone looking to cause you harm."
J. Keaty USN Ret., Turner, OR
"There
is a great variety of simple techniques in these videos. Some
of the tips Shihan Pace gives are excellent... Shihan Pace knows
what he is saying!"
Richard L. Schmaus, Haskell, NJ
"...
I have trained in Tae Kwon Do for years. Although this...martial
arts style is effective, is does not offer the simple, powerful
and effective self defense techniques needed in a 'street situation'
where thinking is not an option. As this program advertises, when
your adrenaline is 'pumping', simplicity is key. These tapes offer
the most effective, inexpensive, simple solulution.
William Krachman, Franklin Lakes, NJ
"...quick
and easy... you have a sense of security wherever you go. I recommend
this to all ages. This is an excellent video."
Krystal Bland, Buffalo, NY
"Your
video is one of the easiest and most efficient forms of self defense
instruction that I have seen. It is simple and to the point. I
would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn basic self defense
techniques. "
David L. Parker, Nashville, TN
"Some
people are physiologically prone to experience more of an adrenaline
dump than others. I am at the far end of the normal curve where
fine motor coordination is literally impossible in threatening
situations. That's why I ordered Michael Pace's video training
set to prepare for my trip to a third world country in a few months.
I already feel much more confidence knowing that I would have
some useful defenses that I will be able to pull off in any situation."
Todd Snyder, Waco, TX
"..teaches
simple, to the point moves that are effective and easy to remember...
to stop attackers in their tracks."
Dan Vuciou, Parma Heights, OH
"Street
Self Defense 101 is the system I've been looking for. The situations
are real world. Further, the system doesn't rely on obscure training...
This is the one I recommend to friends and family."
Lane Fox, Wagoner, OK
"This
video is strickly business...very easy to understand. I have a
lot of self defense video tapes but this one is my favorite."
Robert Ortiz, Pomona, CA
"I
think your videos illustrate good combative techniques...Overall
they are very valuable videos."
Thomas Zeigler, Bessemer, AL
"My
wife and I enjoyed your videos on self defense. The methods are
easy to remember. One day we were practicing your moves and we
were amazed at how much we remembered. Now we are planning to
practice with our two sons."
Patrick Kerr, San Jose, CA
"I
enjoyed the videos. I thought they are a good learning tool for
self defense... quick, easy to learn. You can have fun learning
with your family. Thank you!"
Randy Workman, Thorton, CO
"I've
been practicing these self defense techniques on my husband and
they really do work! I work a second shift job. When I leave work,
I have to walk a good distance in a very dark parking lot to reach
my car. These tapes will really come in handy. Many thanks."
Robin Tassone, North Huntington, PA
"Shihan
Michael Pace's videos provide a realistic and unique approach
to effectively dealing with an aggressive opponent on the street.
His teachings dramatically deal with the 'adrenaline rush' phenominon
during the initial stages of an attack."
"In
these videos Shihan Pace has revealed the true impact of an attack
and how to effectively deal with it. The counter techniques he
teaches are simple but devastating to an opponent. As a martial
arts Sensei, I will tell you that this dynamic video is a 'must
have' for any instructor or student."
