| Pick an Adventure Seminar |
Some of us are old-enough to remember a series of interactive books where readers were asked to make a decision and then go to a corresponding page to see what sort of mess you got yourself into. You never quite knew where you were going to wind up with these books--pre-video game era, these were a novel idea.
Here's where you come in, if you'd like to host a seminar and save yourself some bucks off of the standard fees in the process--if you've got an Adventure Race in your area, a rock you think I'd like to climb, a river you think I want to raft, a hike you think I just need to take, a desert I've not run on, you get the idea--pitch your adventure and school location. If the adventure appeals and the logistics are right we offer greatly reduced fees to come to your school and play with your crew before we go play at your Adventure Pitch.
BTW--You and your crew are welcome to attend the adventure, as a matter of fact, we'll knock off even more bucks for this sort of hands-on guiding.
So, you got some adrenaline in your neck-of-the-woods and want to train? Feel free to make your pitch and we'll see what happens. |

ESP RAW 121: The Inside Stand-Up: Fundamentals, Drills, & Submissions
I'm going to take it for granted that you'd prefer a wrestling approach to your ground-game and do not want to hit your back/pull guard whether it be sub-only matches or MMA.
With that in mind, with got to admit that there are times when you are in a bad position and under-load and have got to get out from under. The easy default is the going to your back mentioned above, but there is a much better option for the wrestling/top game inclined and that is the Inside Stand-Up.
As long as you can hit 1/4 position or come to base in any way this option is available. It is used often in straight-wrestling matches but mighty seldom in submission or MMA work and I believe that is simply because of a poor understanding of the how to distribute the load to make the stand-up happen. Poor load distribution means you ain't getting up and/or will be chopped back to the mat.
Good load distribution and you're not only out from under, but on your feet with a submission in your hands more often than not.
- We'll open this volume with 4 Solo Drills to seat the fundamental mechanics of Foot Placement, Push-Thru, Back-Pressure, Pivoting, & and Preliminary Hand-Fighting.
- From there we'll add your partner so you can work under load and learn 4 Drills to Hand-Fighting Prowess. (We will emphasize the Whip-Away to Under-Gripping--awkward when you first start the drill, but it will pay dividends and get you off the mat--ignore this step and all is for naught).
- Next we'll hit the Standing Switch Drill and explain the Dog-Leash DWL and how a Switch and a Dog Leash DWL should be thought of as 2-sides of the same coin.
- We'll run a 3-Sub Combo to Back Trip your opponent once you've hit your Inside Stand-Up. (The Head-Post Cross-Body Hop may look awkward but it'll do the trick).
- We'll then run a 4-Submission Chain using the Inside Stand-Up to Kick-Over Series. (I'll also provide a little caveat as to why I think the preceding chain is your go-to and the kick-over less then optimum. If you understand pivot points you're way ahead of the game). I'll admit the Head-Scissors is mighty satisfying all the same.
- We'll wrap up by introducing a Drive-Back for a failed hand-fight at the get-go. Lose the hand-fight and there is no Inside Stand-Up--the Drive Back will fix that and then you can run the entire chain again with the Drive-Back inserted and be on your way to Inside Stand-Up Mastery.
- 17 Drills before the Drive-Back Addition--with the Drive-Back you now have 33 Drills total to seat this under-utilized skill.
This volume, as with all of our RAW material, comes with a printed syllabus for inclusion in your training notebook.
ESP RAW 121: can be had this month for only $32 (S & H included--Domestic & International) at the end of the month the price goes to $42 Domestic/$52 International.
