The First and Only Complete Self-Defense and Close Combat Course in American Combato (Jen-Do-Tao) on High Quality DVDs!
Currently enrolled students at The Academy of Self-Defense in Seattle will be given a 10% discount if they purchase the 11-DVD Course!
Eleven carefully prepared professional instructional DVDs describe and demonstrate the most practical, powerful, reliable, and authentic skills of no-nonsense, realistic and war-proven unarmed and armed hand-to-hand combat methodology and personal defense developed since WWII! This Course, describing methods from that System developed in the early 1970’s by Bradley J. Steiner, which crystalized into the American Combato (Jen-Do-Tao)” all-in modern close combat/self-defense martial art in 1975, will teach you how to defend yourself and those you love in any situation! Some of these methods have been copied, imitated, and pirated during the last 25+ years, but a complete self-defense course derived directly from the original and authentic System – the only authorized presentation of American Combato – is now available for home study. All of the techniques, all of the theory, and all of the mental conditioning and related doctrine in these DVDs is presented by the System’s originator, Prof. Bradley J. Steiner, himself. Like Fairbairn, Sykes, Applegate, O’Neill, Brown, Begala, and Biddle in the second world war – from whose lineage this modern Martial Art is a direct descendant – Prof. Steiner clearly, simply, and plainly instructs in real world, lifesaving combatives doctrine.
Not one sentence or one technique of that which is contained in this 11-DVD Course has been rehearsed or choreographed ahead of time. Everything you are taught and told has been done “live”, spontaneously, and in “real time” – so you are in effect receiving private, professional instruction directly from Professor Steiner just as you would if you were in his Studio, personally!
You can order any of the eleven DVDs individually, or you can purchase the entire Course, in which case you pay for only ten DVDs. You receive one FREE!
Each DVD contains the equivalent instruction normally given in four to eight private lessons. This Course is the equivalent of at least 50 private lessons with Prof. Steiner, personally! At the current cost of private lessons (i.e. $150. per lesson), you are receiving at least $7,500. worth of instruction! And you can review this instruction again and again, and save the DVDs for your children to study when they are old enough. You do not need a teacher to learn from this DVD Course. Everything is demonstrated carefully and slowly enough for you to learn; nothing is presented to “dazzle”, to “show off”, or to demonstrate “flash” and “sizzle”. Everything is geared to teaching you war-proven practical and reliable skills clearly and well.
