Description:
Be Your Own Bodyguard is a self defense course is like no other. Learn, hands-on, practical and effective self-defense techniques. This course covers the physical and psychological aspects of self-defense including avoiding confrontations and simple / effective techniques to gain an advantage if you are attacked.
The enhanced DVD features picture in picture technology to guide you through training as well as an interactive menu, that lets you chose which lessons you would like to learn.
The course takes place in real life scenarios: on the street, at the car, at home, etc. You will learn from Robert Cabral, a police tactics instructor and personal security specialist with more than 20 years of experience. There are no complicated martial art techniques to learn and no need to find someone dressed in a "big rubber suit".

There are two courses, one for men and one for women. The courses are quite different and it is recommended that you select the appropriate course.

DisappointingJul 29, 2008 Buy this video if you need to watch 60 minutes of groin kicks followed with an elbow strike - That's it - sum total of this worthless DVD. Compounding the absurdity, each sequence is repeated in slow motion 3TIMES!!! If you removed the slow motion replays, the actual text of the video would probably run for 15 minutes max.

Made my day!Jun 23, 2006 At long last, someone's made a worthy successor to the seminal "Be Your Own Lover For Men" DVD.

The Best Self Defense Course I've SeenJan 21, 2005 I've bought numerous books and videos on self defense and have taken many courses over the years. Some were taught by karate instructors other by "military" people, I've always found them very confusing and difficult to understand. This course walked me through simple techniques that REALLY work. My wife talked me into this after watching the womens course, she loved the womens course. I highly recommend this course to everyone...
Be your own bodyguard Oct 28, 2004 i am an experianced martial art teacher with more than 20 years of experiance. I am always looking for clear and practical ways to show my students how to keep themselves safe in simple and effective ways. This DVD is great. The material covered is practical and to the point. For someone who doesn't want to spend months or years training, this is the answer. I picked up extra copies of the women's video and gave them to the women in our offices. I can't think of a better gift.
