Written Summary:
I feel I must first
say this, the folks at Paladin Press are some of the very best around. When we initially
approached them and asked them to help out with our reviews, they were extremely
eager to oblige. They told us to send them a list of the videos we were interested
in, so we sent a list with about 12 of their tapes. Also, we told them that if the
list was too lengthy, to send what they could. To our surprise, all 12 tapes showed
up! Paladin is truly a class act!
And hopefully they won't be upset with a
couple of the reviews we do. However it is only fair that no one gets "special
treatment" in this process, and that all tapes are graded honestly, and the
way we see them.
O.K., on to the review:
Here's what's on this tape.
It opens with about a minute long bar fight. There are several potential victims,
and several assaliants. It shows a total of about 12 different fighting techniques,
and the rest of the tape is spent re-enacting various parts of this fight scene,
along with explaining why certain techniques were used.
Along with that you
get a lot of explanation about common fantasies, misconceptions, and what to look
for, in these type of situations. The common sense information that's given was in
my opinon, more valuable than the techniques shown.
All-in-all it was a pretty
good tape.
