2005 Footage

Filmed in 2005, these DVDs are mastered from VHS. For details and clips, click on the title.

Fight Training Modules £35 (3 discs)

Fight Concepts, Principles Training Methods: An Overview (2 discs) £25

2000 NHB Series

Mastered from VHS copies derived from digital handheld video shot in the Horsham gym in 2000. The original digital masters were damaged and the VHS versions are all we have, so the visual quality of the production is imperfect. This is reflected in the reduced price.

However, unlike many of the other films we sell, these sessions were conducted purely for the purpose of making instructional films, and as such they are incredibly information-dense. They represent an ideal introduction to Steve's biomechanical principles and we frequently recommend them as a starting point.

NHB #1 Fundamentals of Stance, Positioning, Footwork and Striking from the Standing Position  £30

NHB #1A Fundamentals (Standing) -- Alternative £30

Archive Footage

First shot in the late 1990s in connection with the formation of the Toudi Kempo organization, whose purpose was to help those practicing karate, etc. make the transition to more reality-based training methods. Hence, the gi. However, the content of the instruction remains applicable to all fighters.

We have selected from many hours of footage that which has withstood the test of time and which is applicable to all martial artists engaged in fight-driven practices.

Made from VHS masters. Visual/audio quality is analog. Prices have been dramatically reduced and these tapes are excellent value for money.

Tactical application of bag and pad + rationale £25

Introduction to Training £25

Stick & Knife Drills £20

A More Important Note About the Ethos of Our Films

All of our films are informal, and do not spoonfeed moves to the viewer. The objective on my part is to define those principles and concepts that underlie dynamic, tactical, and natural movement both in fighting and in training (as in the conditioning films) rather than specifically prescribing set routines. There are too many different ways of, for example, striking, for me to dictate the specific moves you should use. Like running, everybody does it differently, and what I've done in film NHB1A and Intro to Training, I've defined many ways of 'skinning the cat'--many ways of punching, for example. But all of them take into account the same underlying principles, which when understood will enable you to solve any combative or training problem. These principles are like a master key which can open any lock; but to build that key you have to internalize them. There are no 'three easy steps to becoming a great fighter'.

What you see on the films is both how I articulate these concepts and principles, and also how I clearly demonstrate how they work. I don't say one thing and do another. The films are unstructured and done in a working environment, warts and all, with trainees who are in the process of learning for themselves. And I have to address problems as they come up.

Because training is to take into account individual problems, attributes, personal style, rules and regs of the fight, etc., when making the 2004 conditioning films I found it more important to outline how a fighter or a trainer might go about devising a training program rather than, as is the usually the case, providing a one-size-fits all program and expecting it to work for everybody. I've always seen the latter approach as simply replicating what usually happens within the pseudo-martial disciplines.

When viewing these films, rather than watching the demonstrators, it would be wise to listen and watch what I'm saying. Indeed, sometimes it would be smart to simply listen to the audio to understand the principles and concepts before even looking at the screen. Understanding my principles and concepts is what the videos are all about. The principles I'm talking about are inescapable and have to be dealt with if you are going to fight more effectively.
