I've been wondering about CDT. Would it be worth ordering the vid to see some of their stuff?

I didn't care for the video at all. If you can find a CDT instructor in your area ask for a small demonstration. In short CDT uses finger and joint locks, pain compliance and some "strikes" used for stunning.

One thing that bothers me very much is that in just one week (45 hours) of training and X number of dollars, you too can become a certified instructor.
|
That's always at least a yellow flag. The instructors that I've met were pretty good with the material. All said that the training was intensive and well done. Time will tell if CDT has good quality control and if the certifications mean something.

Krav Maga is going the same way

Welcome to the 21st century. MA schools need to make money and not everyone wants to be a kickboxer or study kung fu. Things like KM or CDT lets the school owner offer something for those people. As long as the material is legit and the instructors are good I don't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with seminar formats, where they imply that a 4 hour class will have you fighting off muggers.
