Hi Rich,

It's been a while since the Shredder package arrived but I' m up to my
ears in work so I haven't found the time to drop you an e-mail yet,
sorry about that. I hope all is well with you and your family.
I have watched the tape twice so far and I'm halfway through the manual
for the second time.

The manual does a great job to fill the reader in on the "core
principles" of shredding. What I especially liked was the thorough
explanation of the psychological effects of the shredder and the
explanation of shredding against grapplers and multiple attackers.
Regarding the tape, I have to say I was a bit disappointed at first
because it seemed as if the first part was mainly rehashing the tool and
target tape. However, when I reviewed the T&T tape I realized that the
Shredder tape picked up where the T&T tape left off, explaining the
quarter beat and the different positions from which the shredder could
be applied.

The most interesting part was the second half of the tape with the
explanation of the psychological setup and the necessity of effective
delivery systems. Also the information on the ghosting footwork and the
application in multiple attacker situations was great. All in all, it's
a good investment for anyone interested in grasping the shredder concept
with lots of valuable information. Please keep up the great work. All
the best to you, your family and Senshido

Sincerely,
Cornelius
