Streetfighting Essentials  Streetfighting Essentials $39.95  

Real street fights are serious trouble – the kind of trouble that most martial arts don’t prepare you for. So what do you do when a street thug approaches, wanting to make you his next victim? Former security professional and hapkido black belt Alain Burrese has the answer. In this explosive two-disc set, Burrese teaches you how to blend the proven hand techniques of boxing and hapkido’s devastating throws and kicks into a streetfighting system that is sure to keep you on top and put your opponent on the pavement. Burrese begins by teaching you the “tools of the trade” – including killer punches, hammerfists, palm heels, elbows, knees, kicks and throws. Then, through chillingly realistic scenarios and slow motion photography, he shows you how to apply these tools against the kinds of punches, grabs, weapon attacks and gang attacks you’ll really encounter on the street. Streetfighting Essentials is a comprehensive self-defense system that bridges the gap between martial arts theory and streetfighting reality. Don’t settle for anything less.

Hapkido Cane

Hapkido Cane $39.95

An often misunderstood but potentially deadly weapon, the cane is one of the few self-defense tools you can take virtually anywhere no matter what level of security you’re facing. In this hard-hitting video production from Paladin Press, veteran fighter Alain Burrese shows you how to maximize the combative use of the cane, turning it from just a leg support to an invaluable part of your arsenal. Stripping away the flashy martial arts moves to leave behind the bare essentials of big stick fighting, Burrese teaches you the rapid, vicious strikes that take advantage of the cane’s size and heft, and then transitions seamlessly into brutal combinations of striking and blocking that will have your opponent wishing he’d never mistaken you for an easy mark. From there, he shows hooking and grabbing techniques that enable you to move into joint locks, chokes and stick submissions relying on street-proven principles of movement, not fancy dojo dancing. Whether you carry a cane out of necessity or choice, this video will give you information on big stick fighting you can use to keep yourself safe on the street. For information purposes only.

Hapkido HoshinsulHapkido Hoshinsul $19.95

Hapkido is a traditional Korean martial art that translates as “The Way of Coordinated Power”. Unlike the more popular and sport-oriented taekwon do, hapkido is a pure fighting art that combines powerful striking and kicking methods with devastating joint locks, throws and breaks. Alain Burrese received his education in this art at one of the premier hapkido schools in South Korea. He also tested its effectiveness as a bouncer in the toughest GI bars in Asia. Now, in this explosive new Paladin video, Burrese reveals the secrets of hapkido’s amazingly effective techniques and shows you how to use its fundamental wrist, elbow and shoulder locks to defend against a variety of street attacks. Drawing from his own real-world experience, he also shows you how to adapt these techniques to the needs of the bouncer, security specialist or law enforcement officer.
