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.

Hey Crew,

It's Friday and time for this week's Legends newsletter, this week's contents include...

The rundown on ESP RAW 124 the second volume in our Combination Man Curriculum.
Today's article-block gives a run-down of chances to come out and play with some upcoming open seminars.
Our Video Clip of the Week shows a Leg Dive option off of a Crook Drag (one of the set-ups detailed on RAW 124).
Check out our February Special at the end of this newsletter for a few ways to save yourself some dough.

And last, but not least, check out the ESP RAW Subscription service info to your left. You can save yourself some money on this volume of RAW ($5.50 to be exact) and pick up 3 more volumes of RAW absolutely free.

Thanks everyone and have a great week!

Sincerely,

Mark Hatmaker

ESP RAW 124: Combination Man Curriculum (CMC) Vol. 2: Setting Up the Leg Dive

This second volume in our CMC materials by-passes all of the technical gobbledygook of learning the takedown.

Make no mistake, having a technical takedown is ideal, but...to get at the heart of an old school leg dive you must cultivate the proper attitude first.

We find that by shutting off the technical/critical part of the mind and inculcating attitude we can move the student to faster, harder, more surprising shots in a short amount of time.

Once we have the Leg Dive attitude we can then overlay our technical work.

Lest you think this volume forgoes all technical considerations, here's what you'll find on it...

A specific definition of the Leg Dive and how to differentiate it from Double and Single-Leg Takedowns.
The importance of gravity-assist (this is what makes a Leg Dive a dive.
Next we offer rules on how to drill the material and cultivate an attitude of "Technical Ignorance" so that we can use gravity and commitment to up your speed and power.
We discuss why you must train ambidextrously.
And just when I preached "Technical Ignorance" we will run 11-Technical Drill that allow you to set-up the Leg Dive. (Notice these drills stress the technical importance of the set-up, not the dive itself).
We will also provide 11 Template Leg Dives for those who may still want a little guidance about the varieties of gravity assists available.

This material is the Leg Dive foundation which I wish I had this wisdom to implement decades ago and then overlay the technical concerns as needed. Hindsight is 20/20, better decades late than never.

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 124: 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.
