Default Reality Fighting

Anyone ever heard of CFA - Contemporary Fighting Arts by Sammy Franco? I have his book entitled War Machine, and I'm thinking about ordering some of his videos. What do you guys think:

For a fun afternoon of reading, go to Bullshido.com and search for "Sammy Franco Fraud".

I tried searching for it and it said the option was disabled...for whatever reason. I never imagined Franco as a fraud. Oh well, guess the closest book I'll get on reality fighting is a book on Krav Maga.

Mr. Franco sells everything from videos to "healing spray" (overpriced disinfectant) and his "challenge" is the stupidist excuse to never actually test himself against people outside his so called system. In his challenge, he "reserves" the right to use a gun/knife/whatever and have his friends gang up on you. This is nothing short of bullshit.

If this is his system, then it is sad indeed. His website panders to the paranoid and insecure, this is not a good thing.

I would steer clear if given the choice.

Kravmaga- Easliy turning into one of the biggest mcdojo systems around today. You wanna teach it, all you need is weekend seminar or two. Now THAT is sad. Be careful where you train and from whom you recieve instruction.

You know 5 pressure points and a couple of locks and all of a sudden you're a master. Just as authentic as Rick Tew, eh? Haha.

Franco doesn't believe in pressure points. He's all about using the human skeletal system as the target board.

why can't they just say so?

also, that sounds more like striking the skeletal system (which makes no sense - and which is what spurred my earlier question) than locking and breaking.
