Dear Master Joseph Saladino, Jiu Joe Jitsu Self Defense
Please forgive my english I am from Rio De Janeiro Brazil
Since I received your tapes, Basic Jujitsu Video, Submissions Pressure Point Video and Blocks Strikes Counters Video, I have spend my all my free time watching and watching them. I have already see each tape about 6 times and I'm still very impressed with your material. You really did a excellent job. I have a "video library" and your tapes are the best about useful no nosense self-defense. It is so good that I have just order the rest of your tapes.
I have been practicing Aikido for about 5 years and, frankly, I thought I wouldn't see anything new about joint manipulation, but in tape #1, beginning jujitsu, but . .. WOW . . I have never seen so highly effective locks. They are really painful and effective. I also like your strikes on the first tape to "soft" the opponent before enter with the joint technique, however what I love best in your strikes are the pressure points you used after to control your partner and your rapid fire strikes to finish off. ( I'm still watching those movements in slow motion trying to learn. They are incredible fast.
You give a very detailed explanation and the cameras close-ups helped me a lot to understand the pressure points you used in tapes. Your techniques on this tape are amazing, I guess your approach about control and try to make peace with the aggressor, as well martial arts as a physical, mental, spiritual respect in order to develop the personality is very interesting and the most correct ethical form for modern world.
Finally, your tape#7 showed me a lot of open areas to add strikes on my repetoire in my Dojo.. Thank you I would also like to thanks your staff, especially Angela, for all patience and support to assist me with everything. They helped me a lot to make a international order pleasurable, they made it very easy and clear to do.
Thank you very much,
Marcelo Penner
