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 123: Combination Man Curriculum (CMC) Vol. 1: Head Snap Entries 1

 

The first volume in our CMC series starts with entries from the most common scrimmage position in the vast majority of grappling schools--the short offense (both fighters beginning on their knees facing each other with a collar-and-elbow tie).

 

While I question the wisdom of primarily scrimmaging from here, there is no reason not to use it as a jumping off point to begin building an aggressive offensive/defensive base from the get-go.

 

This volume covers:

  • Immediate Snapping to "break the second handshake."
  • The two fundamental must-have go-behinds from the snap.
  • How to properly hit the 2 varieties of Reverse 1/4 Nelsons from this position.
  • How to use the Reverse 1/4's to hit Chin Hook Cranks or Spurs to movement.
  • Popping the neck with the completion of either variety of Reverse 1/4.
  • How to transition seamlessly to both versions of a Modified 3/4 Nelson versus a blocked and posted Reverse 1/4 Nelson.
  • How to pop the neck yet again with either version of the completed Modified 3/4 Nelson. (Remember Crew, we use our Nelsons to damage and gain the tap not to pin).
  • Next we slap on a Snapped Hook Chancery and why to skip the Post Chancery or New School Guillotine while in Short Offense.
  • Next we use the Snap to set up both varieties of Front Headlock (Locked Grip and the Hook & Lift) and why killing the base during Front Headlocks is more important than the snugness of your grip.
  • And we will close out this initial volume with a Front Headlock Go-Behind followed up with a dovetail submission to keep it all vicious.

 

This volume, as with all of our RAW material, comes with a printed syllabus for inclusion in your training notebook.

 

(Hang on to these syllabi because at some point in the Combination Man Curriculum run we will supplement and key these syllabi to a Master Text for easy Drill & Technique search).

 

ESP RAW 123: 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.
