After having reviewed dozens of women's self-defence videos and attending a number of women's self-defence seminars, I felt that a practical and useful video on women's self-defence was needed. The reason is most of what is being taught would probably not work in a real attack or confrontation.

Can 'will' be used instead of 'would'?

Thanks.

No. We use 'will' for something that definitely will happen. The 'real world situation' being discussed may or may not happen. It is hypothetical, thus we use 'would'.
