It does have good info, DWx. I noticed he didn't utilize the "horizontal" palms forward at chest level position, which I usually think of for defining space/the boundary of the fence, but a more "gregarious" one, resembling a boxer's stance. Both are worth practicing.

He was clear on how he was seeking to avoid a fight while all the while being ready to go in a split second.

Clever fellow.

I think that the psychological aspect is the part that is the most overlooked when it comes to SD training. It is definitely worth looking into more.

I saw ElShaft's post and rewatched the videos again. They're very helpful, even if only to give a game plan.

He really seemed to have done his homework. He nicely supplemented theory with experience, and I liked how he emphasized the necessity of matching strategy to skill and preparedness. It's good to see some videos that aren't a bunch of rubbish!
