Testimonials

Filming for the new DVD Set produced by New Approach Publishing (NAP) Power Generation Black was completed in May 2007.Volunteers were asked for via my newsletter and the final list was selected by NAP to appear in the DVD. Here are some of the testimonials from those volunteers.

A massive thank you to you all for coming along to the day.

 

 

"There is no greater compliment than to have one's own personal techniques shown in a DVD and shown well. These two DVDs are a tremendous example of how to develop massive power from almost no effort. Russell Stutely has combined pressure point work with great elements from the 'Powerstrike' System.

Whether you are an experienced martial artist, or beginner, these DVDs are essential in understanding how true power is developed. There are some fantastic demonstrations of impact delivery and if you have ever wanted to truly strike and kick hard, then look no further than these DVDs. No-one has ever captured my 'double hip' applications better than Russell, but he has now taken them to a higher level by combining them with Pressure Point principles.

Russell has adapted all these principles for introduction into a range of striking and grappling systems. There is no system that you could be practising that would not benefit from incorporating these power development principles.

Russell understands the reality of combat and has taught some of the most respected practical combatants in the UK. They found out what you should know - that what they thought they knew about impact was incorrect. WHAT THEY KNOW NOW - SO SHOULD YOU.

I have worked with Russell for many years and can personally vouch for the effectiveness of these principles and techniques. If anyone now carries the torch of what I believe and teach in respect of impact development it's Russell Stutely.

Double or treble your impact for half the normal effort - its a fact - Buy these DVDs and learn how!"

' The tide of realism in the martial arts is building up enormous momentum and Russell Stutely is on the very crest of the new wave, I highly recommend him and his hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners, method of instruction.
If more people were as honest as him I am convinced that more lives would be saved. This is a savage environment that demands of our reality instructors the kind of savage honesty that Russell delivers so fearlessly and so succinctly.
Honesty is, I would say, THE pivotal ingredient.'

Training Manual Testimonials


"Wow! What can I say? This tape has opened my eyes to a real street confrontation. I can see how quickly it can all go so bad. The training drills on this tape have given me the confidence again to go out. Several years ago I was badly beaten up. Following these drills, I know I will not make the same mistakes again! Thanks Russell!"
MD Devon

"There is enough information on this tape to totally transform your SD Skills. I highly recommend it"
ES Bodyguard

" One years training from this tape alone"
Steve Baker. Former 3 Time British Full Contact Middleweight Kick Boxing Champion

" I never realised that the Tekki Katas contained such a wealth of information. The Bunkai on this tape has totally blown my mind. I will never go back to the way I used to do Karate"
 Anthony Blades 4th Dan Shotokan 1999

" The Bunkai detailed on this tape of nearly two hours solid Instruction is the most informative and useable I have ever seen "
Bob Sykes 6th Dan Karate

"What can I say, all the videos do exactly what they say on the packet. Easy to follow, methodical and effective. Having been on the receiving end of some of Russells methods, I can only say to all you doubting Thomas's out there, train with the man, it works, it hurts but you won't be disappointed at all. You dont see Russell doing seminars or lessons with his arms folded, he is hands on, keep up the good work Master Stutely"
Top Black belt

"The best bit about Russell's videos is that (certainly the latest ones) offer a step-by-step approach which allows both the novice and the experienced martial artist to build valuable training sessions from them. They are by no means "polished" professional presentations (the lighting and sound could be improved), but the content is brilliant when you compare them to some that are professionally produced. Put it this way, you WILL buy more once you have sampled one."
RP Aylesbury

" The best Seminar I have ever been to. The OCFM and Russell Stutely put the reality back into Martial Arts"
Malcolm Keith 3rd Dan Ju Jitsu

"How can Master Stutely make a subject so incredibly difficult so easy to understand and replicate... this has changed my martial arts forever"
Rick Tyer 2nd Dan Shotokan
 

Hi Russell,

Thank you for the DVDs which arrived a couple of days ago. As you may recall, I actually own most of your video tapes and I have also had the pleasure of your personal instruction. You will therefore understand that I was a little sceptical about what these new DVDs might offer in the way of additional material.

Firstly, the quality of this latest product is significantly better than any of your previous stuff - sorry, I don't mean to be rude! The sound is excellent and the way it is shot helps the student learn the lessons being demonstrated in a straight forward manner. As for the content, it is excellent. Yes, there is some repetition of what is on your video series but there is a whole lot more as well. In fact these DVDs compliment several of your video tapes. The detail is so well covered that you cannot help but get results (provided you do as you are told). I tried some of the stuff I had not seen before and after only one viewing got instant results. That was actually quite unnerving! For instructors, the drills that are demonstrated provide a simple way of imparting this knowledge to others. There is also a full self defence system shown on the DVD. What I particularly liked was that the techniques and theory can be used as a stand alone self defence system or to enhance existing fighting skills.

All in all I am more than satisfied and will recommend the DVD to my students and colleagues. The DVD is good value for money compared to what else is on the market, is easy to understand and is packed with useful stuff for the experienced martial artist and beginner. In addition, you get a whole arsenal of great techniques. Thanks again.

Regards

Rowland


Testimonial of Russell Stutely
From Shihan Anthony J. Bailey

Having been within the Martial Arts community for many years, I had read a lot about Russell Stutely and decided to book a seminar with him for my students and see his approach to teaching for myself. I was pleasantly surprised at how approachable he was. Many people put on airs and graces when they reach a certain stage of notoriety/fame, but not him. Right from the start he was informative, humourous, helpful and easy going. This kind of approach makes it easier for students to take on board new information. He taught absolute beginners right through to Dan grades with ease and care. He has, without question, the qualifications, experience and personal expertise to teach the subjects to a degree beyond my own experience, but above all of that, it is his personality and professional teaching skills that make the seminars so memorable. Without doubt, one of the best Martial Artists in the World.

I was so impressed that before he left, I was making arrangements with him for another seminar and have now become one of the registered coaches for his organisation.

Some of the comments about Russell from the seminars:

• It was an honour to have been taught by someone so knowledgeable and so helpful. – Mr M. Deacon (Jujitsu teacher).
• So easy to get on with, he (Russell) made the seminar really fun. The time just flew by. – Miss C. Lepic (Jujitsu teacher).
• Some of the things taught (Balance points and Quadrant theory) make you think ‘that’s so easy and obvious, why didn’t I think of that 30 years ago!’ – Mr L Dunce (Judo teacher).
• Thanks for the seminar, it was really great. We both took away a great deal to think about. – Mr M. Bank. (MMA)
• This goes against all that I’ve been taught, I’m going to have to rethink everything! – Kevin (2 x World Champion Wado Ryu Karate).
