Pick An Adventure Seminars

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 the first of the month and time to release our newest ESP RAW DVD which is the fifth volume in our new Combination Man Curriculum.
  
(This is a stand-alone volume but it will be bolstered by consuming in the prescribed order of future volumes that will build on this material).

 
You'll get the full sales pitch in the next block but if you wanna save yourself some money consider checking 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 weekend!
  
Sincerely,

 

Mark Hatmaker

ESP RAW 127: CLINCH FUNDAMENTALS

This is volume 5 in the Combination Man Curriculum (CMC).

 

Here we introduce the fundamentals of the all-mighty clinch; hands-down perhaps the most grueling aspect of the game.

 

One of the reasons the clinch can be so grueling (to both parties) is a seeming limited vocabulary of what is possible within the clinch. Beyond the fence-press, a knee or two to the body or legs, and the occasional turn or drop to the legs for a sacrifice single or double-leg you don't see much in the way of intermediate or advanced applications. Much of this may because some initial fundamentals are not always adhered to, and without these fundamentals there can be no build to a broader vocabulary.

 

This volume seeks to seat those fundamentals and start an immediate build towards widening your offensive vocabulary.

 

We start with...

  • Why the dominance of the over-under clinch over all others forms of clinching.
  • We discuss in detail the root drill of all clinch work the tit-for-tat pummel (standard stuff) but...
  • We introduce The Rule of Palms to reduce your energy on the offensive stroke and reduce your opponent's space for his defensive matching retaliation.
  • Then, we demonstrate The Rule of Tipping which will immediately add up-rooting to even your standard pummeling drill. (You'll find adherence to just these 2 Rules alone should improve your clinch game immeasurably).
  • Next we discuss the 3 Primary Goals of the Clinch: The Body-Lock, the Go-Behind, and the Inside Leg-Dive.
  • We'll demo three ways to body-lock, three ways to grip and keep that body-lock, and two ways to never, ever lock your opponent down.
  • Next we'll discuss three ways to take your standard Pummeling Drill and turn it into a real live animal that is combat ready as opposed to something you warm-up with or perform in isolation.
  • We then move on to the easiest and safest class of Go-Behind, the Slide-By.
  • We'll demo the 3 Primary Slide-By Forms and then from there move into how to set-up the slide-by.
  • We'll then dip a toe into intermediate and advanced waters by introducing the Wrist-Control Slide-By along with 2-ways to drill gaining the wrist control and 5 ways to apply the wrist control directly to a drop.
  • We then discuss the 3 drills to run all clinch tools thru before you unveil them in a match. These drills will make sure you are tight, tight, tight.
  • We'll close with a brief bit on Educating the Lift, and how to cheat the back arch since many events have kyboshed this devastating move.

 

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 127: 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. [Of course, it's only $26.50 for the RAW Crew.]
