Blocks, Strikes, and Counters are just as important to study and learn as grappling philosophies and methods. In order to be a "well rounded" martial artists this video should not be overlooked. This video instruction will provide the viewer with a wealth of knowledge concerning blocking and countering many different strikes. A step by step discussions and description is provided by Master Joe as in all videos he provides, in addition to the "do's and do not's" of each concept shown. The United Fighting Video Association writes about Master Saladino
If a person were to really dedicate oneself to learning each of those 3 tapes, they'd have one heck of a fighting system. Purchase anything less, and a person probably wouldn't get as clear a picture of how everything Mr. Saladino teaches fits neatly together, and compliments each other. And if that's not a strong enough recommendation about this series, let me put it this way, "Because of it's thorough and complete utilization of various martial arts techniques, and it's infinite possibilities, this is THE style I wish I'd started out with 20 years ago!" What I personally found very refreshing was the complete lack of "head high" kicks. All the kicks I saw were demonstrated below the solar plexus. Mr. Saladino didn't seem to require a person to have the flexibility of a Bill Wallace, or Jean Claude Van Damme, or insist a person waste time trying to achieve that, to enjoy and be effective in his style. What a relief to not have too waste 30 minutes, to an hour per day, for the first 2-3 years of a persons training, trying to achieve the splits, without any guarantee of results! After the strikes/kicks, Mr. Saladino demonstrates 5 different blocks (inner, outer, upward, downward, fanning).
While demonstrating these blocks, Mr. Saladino shows how to block and counter using various strikes. I found this section to be kind of similar to what many TKD enthusiasts refer to as "one steps", but taken by Mr. Saladino to about the 10th power. Where I've seen many TKD instructors show 3-5 different techniques per "one step", Mr. Saladino does about 10-20.
In my opinion, this part of the tape makes it totally worth the price of admission. Having come from a TKD background, and being taught many times just 3-5 techniques per "one step", I've seen many students freeze, not knowing what to do next if those 3-5 techniques don't put an opponent down, or out. I've also seen students freeze when trying to come up with their own freestyle "one steps". Any student that's ever had that problem, should definitely get this tape. Mr. Saladino does a wonderful job of opening ones eyes, during each technique, to an endless number of striking possibilities. Way to go Joe!
