Reality Based Personal Protection: Knife Survival DVD by Jim Wagner

Jim Wagner introduced the term "reality-based" to the martial arts world through High Risk, his column in Black Belt. Now, this system is revolutionizing the martial arts and changing the way people train.

Few self-defense instructors in the world can come close to Wagner's background.

He's a former soldier, jailer, street cop, SWAT officer, diplomatic bodyguard and counter-terrorist agent with the U.S. government. In addition, he is one of the world's top police and military defensive-tactics instructors. He has trained elite units worldwide, including the U.S. Marshals, FBI SWAT, German GSG9, Israeli Special Forces, U.S. Border Patrol, Brazilian GATE, Argentinean GOE, U.S. Air Force Security Forces, California Highway Patrol, INS, DEA, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines, PMO, Helsinki Police Department and dozens of prisons.

Wagner's reality-based personal protection system transcends mere punching and kicking. It covers the complete tactical spectrum of pre-conflict, conflict, and post-conflict techniques and training methods. Mastering these tactics will give you a solid foundation for all of your self-defense needs.
