I hold a black belt in Goju Ryu, and the techniques shown seem very reasonable. Mr. Franco obviously has experience and skill and he has a good sense of realism in his approach to self defense.The production quality is essentially that of a home video. The lighting is good and the techniques can be seen clearly. I feel that there is an excessive amount of repetition where Mr. Franco's students do the same technique over and over again with no real changes in the scenario, and so no real value to that much repetition.There is also a considerable amount of foul language used throughout the video. Perhaps Mr. Franco feels that this contributes to developing the sense of realism in encounters that may happen on the street. However, for me, the extent of the use of this language was such that I didn't feel comfortable viewing the DVD with other family members in the room.So, in general, good material on the DVD, good and useful techniques, and good to see these techniques from Mr. Franco's perspective given his obvious level of experience and skill. So, I recommend the DVD from this perspective. But the production value could have been more professional, thus the three stars. ### ⭐⭐ or waste your money *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2015* Simple stuff, not what I thought or expected from Sammy. This is a pass DVD, or waste your money. ### ⭐ 5 star reviews from unverified purchasers *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017* I made the mistake of buying 3 dvd's by Franco in 2015. They are all poorly produced and have unrealistic instruction. Some techniques are so terrible it should be obvious they wouldn't work. I should have done some research on this guy before ordering instead of believing all the glowing reviews. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/10127230-escape-master-how-to-escape-and-counter-locks-chokes-holds](https://www.desertcart.us/products/10127230-escape-master-how-to-escape-and-counter-locks-chokes-holds) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
