I'm not sure what kind of feedback to want or expect exactly but I have been thinking about buying the self defence course that I linked to below, just curious if anyone here has any thoughts looking at it. I don't have a martial arts/self defence practice of any reputation near me, so video learning and sparing with my dad and brothers is the best I can do. I have practiced Ju-Jitsu by watching Gracie Academy videos and sparing with my family, as well as doing solo drills to keep the muscle memory fresh, and while I understand that in person training has many more benefits, video training has worked fairly well for getting me a foundation in basic techniques. I just don't have the time, money, or even anywhere to go to get in person training.
I came across these videos after listening to a random pair of over the phone interviews with our very own Michael Janich, then another one with self defence instructor Michael South. Mr. South is one of the instructors in the second more advanced Krav Maga course, but obviously I'll be starting with the beginner course. His credentials seemed fair enough, he's trained law enforcement, and other government and state personnel, and I liked what he said about the mentality used in Krav. I wouldn't buy this course just because it was all I've found so far, I had to be convinced to consider it, but it also happens to be the only thing I've found so far.
What I am hoping to learn is the proper way to do basic strikes, how to use a hammer fist or how to do a palm heel strike for example, and a hopefully a basic understanding of when different strikes are applicable. Like I said, my dad and brothers are my sparing partners, so it will just be us watching the videos, then practicing as often as we can.
Anyway, here is the link if anybody is willing to take a look at the course, and I am open to hearing any thoughts or advice anyone might have.
