August 3, 2004Just received Fighting Footwork Volumes 1 and 2 and Reflex Action for my 34th birthday. Visually appealing, entertaining and clear as a bell instruction. Absolutely thrilled. Finally, videos you can actually learn from.

August 3, 2004I wanted to thank you for the master class you gave at the [Marc MacYoung] Animal List BBQ a couple of weeks ago. I really appreciated it and have subsequently invested in your videos. These are without a doubt the best flow drills I've seen. As advertised, your reflex drills are of universal interest, rather than being specific to one art. Excellent!

April 2003Learning to protect yourself on the street is not that difficult. But if you have any doubts about your own ability, check out Reflex Action: Training Drills to Fighting Skills. In the two-volume set, Bob Orlando teaches simple and practical methods for developing real fighting skills. He covers techniques that utilize the hands, elbows, forearms, knees and feet, and shows you how to turn them all into a skill set that will enable you to hone your reflexes.

January 16, 2003When I first saw the tapes I had a hard time processing the information they hold. Not that it wasn't presented in a clear fashion, it is. It's just that there's so much of it. Throughout the two tapes, Bob gives you tons of information to work with and many different ways to do the drills. But it goes further than that. He not only shows you the drills he uses but goes into detail as to how and why they work. This gives you the tools you need to devise your own drills, using techniques from your own art. This will allow you to speed up the learning process tremendously and help ingrain what it teaches.
Throughout the tapes, he keeps things fun to watch by cracking jokes or whacking his partners and the looks on their faces are priceless. Especially when Bob works with "Tiny", this stands out. It is important because you will need to view the tapes many times over to get the full benefit. There are the drills themselves but that is just the most obvious part. Once you start experimenting with them, you will quickly feel the need to watch them again to see how exactly you perform the details of Mr. Orlando's techniques and really make the drills come to life. Seeing him move is an education in and of itself. He has extremely good technical skills and the refinement of decades of training is obvious. Without a doubt, one of the most impressive martial artists I have ever seen.
If you are a Silat, Kuntao or Kali player, these tapes should be on top of your list of "Must buy!" items. If you train in an art that doesn't emphasize drills, you can use them to create your own. At any rate, buy the tapes. You won't regret it [emphasis added]. ... full Review
