This DVD is the first of a set of videos demonstrating escapes from various holds and grabs. During performance each response has a voice-over description of the movements involved at normal speed and in slow-motion.

The video details responses to wrist and arm grabs, chest and collar grabs, throat grabs and shoulder grabs. The various responses follow a common theme of movements so that the student does not have to learn and practice a large number of different responses to cater for different grabbing attacks. Instead the escapes shown apply methods involving a small number of responses which can be applied to a range of attacks.

Running time: approx 40 minutes
