Written Summary:

In this 1st tape of the Jiu Joe Jitsu Self Defense series, Mr. Saladino shows how the techniques of karate, aiki-jujitsu, and jujitsu can all be combined for street lethal self defense. This tape, titled "Beginning Jujitsu", gets right into the "meat of things", has no fluff, and is one of the better beginner tapes we've seen on incorporating these various techniques. It definitely has within it a Vee JuJitsu flavor, yet leaves out alot of the excessive talk and repetitive drills found on other Vee type tapes we've seen such as Black & Blue's.

In this tape there are about 10 primary self defense techniques shown. However the sub-categories and variations of each are numerous. What Mr. Saladino shows on this tape, in our opinion, would keep a "Beginning Jujitsu" student happily busy for quite some time.

Some of the techniques were shown 6 times, 3 times on each side. Usually this would have a tape scoring low on our "Wasted Time" criteria. Due to the techniques shown, and the sub-components of each, this much replay was needed. Mr. Saladino's thorough manipulation of painful come-alongs and aiki-jujitsu techniques, literally had the opponent going all over the place and sometimes in circles. Portions of some techniques had Mr. Saladino's back to the camera so that you couldn't see the entire technique and it's various sub-components. In the thorough manipulation and transition of various aiki-jujitsu and come-along techniques, that just can't be helped. It appeared that on those techiques, Mr. Saladino knew that his mastery and demonstration of them required they be shown from various angles. WELL DONE MR. SALADINO. This tape had a logical progression, appeared to have alot of planning and thought put into it, and was well produced.

In this tape, Mr. Saladino shows the viewer how to serve up an "appetizer" using quick strike distractions, which allow one to get in and make these techniques work. Then after the "main course" has been served, he brings out the "dessert" and shows how to finish off an opponent with rapid fire hand, elbow, knee and foot strikes. Mr. Saladino's fluid and extremely fast delivery of his distractions and rapid fire "finish-offs", not only show his mastery of this system, but more importantly, how one can REALLY enjoy putting "the icing on the cake" afterwards. In summing things up, Mr. Saladino introduces the viewer to the concept of how they can have, learn, and use, a thorough self defense system.

This tape is for anyone wanting to learn a system that has within it, strong karate, aiki-jujitsu and jujitsu influences, which shows how to get in close, and make these various techniques work in the heat of battle.
