Inside the Crucible Vol. 3 - Situational Combatives and Knife Fighting with Kelly McCann
Video Review by Alain Burrese

Situational Combatives and Knife Fighting is the third part of the five-volume Inside The Crucible: An Exclusive Look at Kelly McCann's Individual Protective Measures Course. McCann, a renowned self-defense expert who used to go by the name of Jim Grover, has created an excellent product. If you can't attend one of his courses, this video is the next best thing. It teaches simple but effective empty-hand defenses against a variety of common street attacks, as well as methods for negating long-gun assaults. Much of the tape is devoted to offensive and defensive knife use. McCann's no-nonsense teaching style works wonders to get his points across.
Volume three sells for $59.95, and the entire set goes for $224.75. For more information, call (800) 466-6868 or visit www.paladin-press.com.
