MASTERS AND STYLES: A Comparative Analysis of Self-Defense Technique (Video/DVD) by Loren W. Christensen, Mark Hatmaker and Vince Morris

Since 1989, Paladin Press has brought you some of the best instruction in real-world self-defense available on video, showcasing experts in disciplines ranging from classical karate to down-and-dirty street fighting. Now, we’ve gone one better.

In one landmark video production, Paladin has gathered three of our best-selling video authors: veteran cop and martial artist Loren Christensen, boxing and grappling specialist Mark Hatmaker, and Vince Morris, kyusho-jitsu expert and founder of the Kissaki-Kai style of karate. The assignment: to teach you the best defenses they could muster against common street attacks, including a haymaker punch, a front kick, a tackle, a rear choke, a side headlock, and a lapel grab and punch. Drawing from their personal fighting styles and training backgrounds, these experts present their solutions to these same attacks, giving you a unique opportunity to compare and contrast not only their techniques but their teaching styles and fighting philosophies.

This is the ultimate "greatest hits" video and a rare opportunity to compare and contrast martial arts masters and their styles. For information purposes only. Videotapes and DVDs are nonreturnable; defective tapes and disks will be replaced. Color, approx. 60 min.
