Jacov Bresler - You may have even heard of him before, or you may recognize his face. Because he lives TWO DISTINCT lives: His "day job" is being Hollywood's top "go to" guy for teaching actors how to look like real fighters in movies. Jacov has worked or trained with Steven Seagal, Jeff Speakman, Olivea Gruner, Sly Stallone and the rest of the "Hollywood Martial Arts" gang. He makes it all look "authentic"… and even appears as a bad guy now and again. (Check out "The Circuit", or "13 Dead Men", or "Cyborg Fighters".) However, his MAIN job is training REAL fighters & civilians in how to defend themselves. This guy's story will take your breath away: He grew up in Israel learning the nastier details of street fighting as a merchant seaman — his specialty, as a young kid, was surviving long boat trips and bar fights where other crew members occasionally "disappeared". After joining the Israeli military he volunteered for a special "behind the lines" military mini-force supporting special operations. Do you remember the Yom Kippur War? The Arab countries poured their entire armies into Israel. They wanted to make it just disappear. The Israeli army, completely outnumbered had other ideas. They used their superior fighting skills to defeat and destroy their enemies. And Jacov Bresler participated in that war behind the lines supporting Special Forces on search-and-destroy missions. Many soldiers never see combat. Others, like Jacov, see little BUT combat. House-to-house fighting. Hostage situations. Taking out terrorists. This deep experience in real combat is what makes Jacov such a "find" for modern spec op soldiers and "ghetto fighter" vice cops.
Fast and Furious Street Smarts Fast & Furious Street Smarts - Jacov began his training at age 16 with an Argentinian master instructor who is a direct disciple of legendary Okinawan Karate master Gogen Yamaguchi's son. That style - Goju Ryu Karate - is still one of the most "hard core" martial art styles in the world today. There are two DVD's in this set. First, Jacov reveals his most important "single lesson to street level fighting mastery" material. This is the "speed-learning" shortcut hand-to-hand tactics he teaches cops and soldiers who don't have time for practice. Second, he does the BEST job on teaching civilians about improvised weapons. This is a SPECIAL ART, and one that Jacov perfected long ago, during the days he sometimes HAD to fashion weapons out of thin air to survive. Last, Jacov insisted on providing an extra lesson showing you how to use these simple new skills in REAL situations. It was expensive setting up these real-life scenarios. But oh my God, it was worth it. Just watching these lessons will give you access to stunning new (and very simple) fighting skills that will make you almost INVULNERABLE in any real-world fight. Best part: You can learn it super-fast. Run Time: 3 Hrs 27 Min ITEM #FASTFURIOUS
Shannon Stallard - Shannon is a "little" guy at maybe 5'9" 180-pounds and he doesn't mind one bit being called a biology "lab geek". In fact he was so fascinated with how the human body and brain functioned that his college biology professor actually hired him on staff. But what really surprised Shannon's fellow biology geeks was that Shannon is also "One Of The Most Respected Martial Artists On The Planet". His credentials are MORE than impressive. He studied martial arts for 27 years (since he was 6-years-old) and trained in Tae Kwon Do (at the famous Jhoon Ree centers), studied Kempo Karate, trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 10 years, 14 years of hard-core teaching experience, head instructor of the nationally acclaimed Gangbusters program, earned black belts in Japanese Shorin Rue Karate, Sekie Rue Jiu-Jitsu, and Tagakure Rue Ninjitsu, earned a 3rd Dan in Korean Hwarang-do (used for training Special Forces and Navy SEALs) and on and on and on! I could go on for another 20 pages about Shannon's martial arts credentials. No kidding! Then Shannon did something that stunned the martial-arts world: He expertly combined his unique skills and his vast knowledge of biology of how the human brain functions under stress and his astonishing martial arts accomplishments to create one of the most effective new natural fighting systems EVER!

Mark Parra - At 44-years-old, he's just 5'8", and maybe 150-pounds soaking wet. Not a big strong young man by any means. But his size and strength doesn't matter one bit. He's known by "insiders" around the world for his astonishing abilities to take down violent opponents TWICE his size - even if they're numbed-out on drugs and attack in groups. His skills are nothing less than astonishing and it's why he was hand-picked to protect "Death-Metal" band members from crazed fans! He did this during the now infamous "Megadeth/Pantera" World Tour. If you've never heard of these musical groups don't worry - let me clue you in. These groups are two of the most insanely popular "death-metal" bands in the world. And to make matters worse - they toured together. You can imagine the kind of security nightmare that created. These "metalcore" concerts were literally packed with angry young "mosh-pit monkeys", violent pasty-faced meth-heads, and out-of-control headbangers whose vicious flailing and slam-dancing are intended to make sure everyone is left battered, bleeding, or worse! Forget the days of "feeling breezy" with Kenny G. This crowd is nothing less than a dangerous and near riotous mob - notorious for their extreme disregard and violence toward all others. It's no joke. Take guitar player "Dimebag Darrell" for example. Once a guitar-shredding hero for the death-metal band Pantera - he was attacked and killed while playing onstage in Columbus, Ohio. Three more people were also killed that night including the guy who originally attacked Dimebag. Parra continually fought off drunken, cranked-up, violent fans twice his size as the driving music gradually whipped the crowd from excited, to wild, to out-of-control, and finally into an insane mouth-foaming frenzy. And it's then that band members start crapping their pants - scared that the monster they created could turn and kill them right on stage. But Parra was NOT chosen for this dangerous assignment because he was "one of them". No - He doesn't wear black lipstick or white face paint and he sure as hell doesn't have metal pins shoved through his face. Nope. He's just a regular guy who happens to be one of the most accomplished and respected martial artists on the planet. He was personally trained and earned his black belt in Ukidokan Karate by master Benny "The Jet" Urquidez (one of only 18 ever bestowed by Benny) and served as a revered instructor at House of Champions for over 10 years. This guy's got credentials up the ying-yang but his gig as personal bodyguard & trainer for Megadeth proved to the entire martial arts world that Parra was NOT some "pretty boy" Hollywood store-front martial artist.
