Real Fights are Dirty – Get this DVD for Real Self-defense!,
Real fights don’t have rules. Real fights don’t have referees to stop the battle when one person gets the upper hand. Real fights are not something you want to lose, when losing means you are seriously hurt or dead. Real fights, if you can’t avoid them, are times when you must put your attacker down as hard and fast as you can. You don’t fight fair, you do what you must to go home safe. That’s where this DVD comes in.
Loren Christensen has more than 20 years of experience in law enforcement and has been fighting for more than twice that. He knows a ton about martial arts and fighting, and in this Paladin Press production of “Fighting Dirty: A `No Sweat’ Guide to Hardcore Self-Defense Training” he teaches the dirty tricks needed to win a real fight.
Paladin’s scene index makes it easy to find the chapter you want to study. Christensen broke his instruction into eight main parts with an introduction and conclusion as end caps. In this 108 minute DVD, Christensen instructions on blocking, striking, kicking, takedowns, breaking down the guard, grabbing, pinching, and tearing, using your environment and how to put it all together.
Make no mistake, even though Christensen has decades of martial art training under his multiple black belts, this DVD focuses on fighting dirty. You won’t find many fancy moves here, just dirty basics. Palm heels, bottom fists, and slaps are the kinds of strikes you find here, not traditional martial art strikes. For kicks, you find kicks to the groin, shin scrapes, scoop kicks, stomps, and knee strikes; all easy, quick and dirty.
Paladin’s production value is top notch. The sound is good, they use a well lit studio, and the camera angles clearly show what Christensen is teaching. And teach he does. I like that Paladin produces DVDs where the instructors teach to the camera. It is like having Christensen right there to walk you through his dirty techniques. If you and your training partner follow along with the DVD you will be able to learn these and incorporate them into your own training.
If you are looking for a DVD with practical self-defense techniques, this will be a great addition to your video library. I highly recommend incorporating Christensen’s “Fighting Dirty” techniques into your self-defense arsenal.

A practical and highly effective guide to winning on the street.,
I have been fortunate to have reviewed numerous books and videos by the highly prolific Loren W. Christensen. I have never been disappointed in his material. This DVD was made because he received many requests for a practical self-defense video for people over forty years old. In my opinion, this DVD has achieved its goals, but you do not have to be forty years old to learn from this DVD. There are over 50 techniques spread over several sections. It is interesting to me that he teaches the very same hands up and open technique that I have been teaching police officers and citizens for more than thirty five years. He moves on to some very good practical blocking techniques, basic hand strikes and the kicks you need to effectively defend yourself. He demonstrates how to defend against various types attacks using the basic techniques taught in this DVD.
In conclusion, if you are seeking to learn a practical self-defense system without spending years in a dojo, this video is for you. This DVD will also appeal to all martial artists and those specializing in practical Combatives. The techniques and tactics are solid.

Awesome DVD,
Fighting Dirty-A No Sweat Guide to Harcore Self-Defense Training, is one awesome DVD. Loren W. Christensen is one of my favorite Reality Based Self-Defense authors and instructors. This DVD is thorough and covers a lot of material. It’s especially made for people 40 and over who either don’t have time to attend a RBSD class or the inclination. If you want to know how to effectively defend yourself I highly recommend this DVD.
