Restraint, Control & Come-A-Long Techniques: Effective Arrest & Control Techniques for Law Enforcement and Security Professionals Volume 1

Excellenct Instructional DVD!
Restraint, Control and Come-A-Long Techniques Vol. 1 is an excellent instructional DVD! I have watched many martial arts training DVD's and some are better than others. Many of them are more like a highly skilled instructor showing off his skills rather than an actual teaching or instructional DVD. They do the moves so fast, or the camera work is poorly done, that it is very hard to actually learn from them. You don't have to worry about that with this DVD. Alain Burrese not only shows you the different techniques, but he also walks you through important tips that can make the difference between a technique that actually works and a technique which is all but useless. It is obvious that this instructor is a teacher, and did not just produce this DVD to boost his ego or show off his skills.

This DVD is very well-shot and easy to learn from. Mr. Burrese walks you through each technique, step by step, giving you clear and easy-to-understand instructions. His presentation is...

5 Star Winner for Burrese
Burrese has already produced a very successful series of instructional DVDs. His newest two volume set entitled, Restraint, Control & Come-A-Long Techniques is another 5 star winner. Burrese covers relevant principles for the application of the expertly demonstrated and described techniques. He presents them at full speed and in slower and up close instruction so that details of the techniques can be clearly seen, grasped and learned by the viewer. Burrese also stresses repetition practices with a partner and multiple partners so that the execution of the techniques can be utilized instinctively with surprise, speed and technical accuracy. Lastly, he emphasizes the necessity of physical conditioning, mental preparation, situational awareness, self control and the use of breathing exercises as a method to keeping your cool. I highly recommend this two volume set without hesitation.

Excellent Dvd
I just watched A. Burrese's newest DVDs on Restraint, Control and Take Along techniques. I really like his style of teaching. I have been in the bar security business for the past 18 years and have training in Aikido and Kosho Ryu Kempo, and exposure to the pressure points as presented by the late Professor Jay and Scott Rodgers. Alan's dvds are a great addition to the other dvds he's created and I purchased. This set includes more advanced material from the earlier volumes on locks and controls.. I am not a student of Alan's or affiliated with him at all. I enjoy instructors who can teach, and show in detail the techniques. I can no longer train in dojos with my shoulder so the more detailed instruction the better. This is a purchase you won't regret.
