Watch Fit to Defend Vol. 1

This is the ultimate guide to real, practical self defense and fitness that students can learn at their own pace and in the privacy of their own homes. It's designed for solo or partner training, with the hope the whole family will get involved, as the techniques are designed for and executed by, women, men, and children. FIT TO DEFEND includes instruction, recaps, and workouts, and combines the blocking and striking techniques of karate with the incapacitating grappling techniques of jiu-jitsu. The teaching is informative, lively, and fun with host Rita Sever, Jiu Jitsu World Champion Jean Jacques Machado, and Karate Master Roger Lacombe. The moves are kept simple but effective and they can be applied in many different situations. 50 specific counters to over 30 different types of attacks are detailed. Though intended mainly for the non-practictioners, FIT TO DEFEND can be used by serious martial artists to augment their formal training. Lesson 1 teaches basics of jiu-jitsu and karate used in self-defense. These techniques provide the base for all the specific counters so they must be mastered before moving to lesson two.

Lesson 2 begins with instruction of specific defenses against specific attacks. It focuses on the first line of defense, keeping the attacker from getting to your body.
