Tony Blauer of Blauer Tactical introduces a series of real world groundfighting drills. Designed originally for law enforcement and military scenarios, the drills shown in this video have been adapted to personal street defense. The four drills are:
1. Flexors vs Extensors
2. Legs Only
3. Inside the Legs
4. Protecting the Advantage
Tony Blauer is a pioneer in scenario-based combatives, and has specialized in techniques to survive a surprise attack or “Murphy Moment” as he describes it. He focuses on the body’s natural reactions and inherent physiology to increase the likelihood of survival and dominance. 10min 25sec

I've enjoyed Tony's videos before, and busted a gut watching a few of them. But this one blew me away.
I used to study martial arts, and thought I might again someday. But after seeing what Tony's philosophies are, and how they're put into practice, I can't imagine studying any fighting art but this (except maybe BJJ... but they seem very complementary).
Anyways, chalk me up into the 'impressed and eager' column.

Hey guys.
I teach Krav Maga and a fair amount of Reality based Stuff. Both technically and from a teaching perspective this is outstanding - in the first few seconds Tony covered stopping chokes - strikes to the face and a reversal using only 1 technique.
Really impressive.
