Recording is done live as training is going on. Recording is done well, not like some low-budget recordings. Moves are easy to learn and are effective, they work if you do them right. It's better if you practice these moves with someone else, but if you don't have anybody to practice with, watch the video over and over, or keep watching at least the moves you think you'll most likely encounter. I haven't yet had the opportunity to use these moves, but gives me more confidence, I will make another review in case I ever do.
