Hayduke: title - Get Even: The Video
Typical Hayduke revenge, Only this time in Video form! Hilarious, I invited friends over to watch it and we laughed hard at some of these tricks and stories. Imagine coming out of the mall and finding your car chained to another car, or snooping through your friend's bathroom medicine cabinet and having thousands of marbles crashing to the floor.
My Personal Favorite is the Chef! "That's wight, jus toss it in and sthir bwiskwy."
Witty, funny, well produced and satirical. You just can't say enough about Hayduke!
The Down Side:
How stupid do you think I am? I'm writing a review about the Master revenge artist, of COURSE there is no down side!

Gary Fliegner: title - Restraint And Control: For Security Industry Professionals
If action and adventure are what you want from a video, skip this one. But if you want PROFESSIONAL tactics for restraining problem people, then get this one!
I was impressed that this Video actually held true to it's name with no hype. It goes through various situations, and STRESSES talking yourself out of trouble. It shows how to restrain people without getting hurt, and without hurting the other guy. That's important! Court time is no fun at all when you get sued by the meek, well dressed gentleman in court, who was a drunken raving maniac last week in the club.
If you're looking to enhance your knowledge and career in the Security industry, consider this tape an investment in your future!

Bram Frank: title - The Leading Edge (A Complete Guide to Tactical Edged Weapon Use)
Let me say right up front... This is one of the best knife fighting videos I have ever been privileged to watch. Bram Frank shows you everything from beginner drills right up to more advanced techniques that will not only help keep you alive when things go south, but will help protect you in court during the aftermath.
Mr. Frank uses several drills and methods that I believe in 100%! I actually use "flow drills" and "biomechanical disabling" in my selfdefense/anti-rape classes, and I was surprised and excited to see them in this video. While our fighting and teaching styles may be different, his common sense and experience CAN NOT be dismissed by anyone!!
Very few people impress me, but Mr. Frank does. His fighting style does NOT stress complicated martial arts moves even though he obviously has the stance and training of a master martial artist. That "stance and training" is evident in his humor and his humility. Mr. Frank has something sadly lacking in many of today's self defense classes, Style!
I've watched "knife fighters" train, I've trained many myself, I've seen students stab another student with their rubber knife and say "you're dead, it's over". Thankfully Mr Frank explains and dispels these MYTHS! His form encourages "Bio-mechanical disabling" which in my opinion is the ONLY way to win a knife fight. A mortally wounded man can still have plenty left in him to be able to take you with him, and a tie in a knife fight is a bad outcome! However, an attacker with cut wrist tendons can't hold a knife.
Mr. Frank also stresses another important lesson, the aftermath of Court. As he eloquently points out, everyone has been cut, so a jury won't be too sympathetic to a dirtbag with a surgery scar on his wrists or shoulders, but a jury can't relate to death, cut throats, and disembowelment.
I applaud Mr. Frank for not going where so many other fighting styles go.. "death, gore and ruin". I can't say enough about this video... but if you want a common sense, no nonsense, REAL guide to winning a knife fight, THIS is the Video series for you!!!!!! I consider it a MUST HAVE!
