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-provenunarmed
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.
