Hey Crew,

 

It's Friday and time for this week's Legends newsletter;
buncha stuff today...

 

 

First--info on this month's RAW (Just 3 more days to snag it at the discounted price).

BOXING ON THE MOVE PART 4. This 3rd volume of our integrated Focus Mitt System for MMA picks up where 141 left off and is a pretty damn comprehensive drill template for setting or kyboshing the Plum Clinch (it also will hold you in good stead for setting up Leg Dives). Details below.

 

Second--This week's Video Clip is my entry in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Pay attention because I'm calling some of you out, Brothers & Sisters!

 

Third-- Thanks to Coach John Miller and his fine crew in VA this past weekend. And an even bigger shout-out to the insane crew who joined us on the Spartan Super! Loved every minute of it!

 

Fourth--Today's article is a little free market query on a Do-or-Die Combination Man/Woman Boot Camp idea we're mulling. It might be the most vicious little idea I've had in years. Your feedback will be mucho appreciated.
  
Fifth--This month's special is on our book The Boxer's Bible of Counter-Punching. $10 US or $18 International gets you an autographed copy.

 

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 weekend!
Sincerely,

 

Mark Hatmaker

ESP RAW 142
ESP RAW 142: CMC #19
BOXING +  Pt. 3
The Plum Clinch 
(Offense & Defense)

 

[Important: This volume assumes that you have drilled and understood RAW 139, 140, and 141 as it builds on and blends new drills onto these templates.


 

This volume can be used by both MMA Strikers and MMA Grapplers, straight sub wrestlers might find it of less value.]


 

We continue building our progressive, comprehensive alive MMA Focus Mitt Systemwith this volume. Contents include...

  • An overview of the Root Combination.
  • A review of the 4 Compass Points of movement.
  • Next we start tacking on the new material--we'll start out with 8 Drills to Blend your Boxing + Vocabulary directly into Setting Up the Head for the Clinch, Leg Dive, Disengagement, or Submission--you're call.
  • We'll use Boxing into Snaps, Head Pressure Yanks to steal power, Sends to create off-line angles, Head Drags, Chanceries, Halches, and Head & Shoulder Double Tapping.
  • Next we'll cover 8 ways to beat a Thai Blossom Clinch. These are all wrestling based and not one uses a snaking/pummeling method--too slow with knees around the corner.
  • We'll use Knocks, Taps, Shucks, Presses, Drives, Shrugs, and Crook Drags to turn that clinch to our favor.
  • We'll close out with 2 aggressive Set-Ups that attack your opponent's arms while in Boxer position. Think of it as very (very) aggressive Chi Sao and your on the right page.
  • In all 18 Drills,  (72 once you run the compass Points) & 216 rounds of tactical work to get your MMA Blend game into high gear.

We've been working on this Focus Mitt Matrix for some time and I appreciate all the kind words so far from those who have consumed and used the 1st 3 volumes beginning on RAW 139.

 

By the time you work all of these thru the drills you should be far smoother, far snappier, and most of all in good balance at all times whether throwing or defending against punches, elbows, or takedowns.


 

This volume (as with all volumes of RAW) comes with a printed syllabus for inclusion in your training notebook.

 

ESP RAW 142 can be had this month for $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.]

Do or Die? In or Out?
Mark Hatmaker

 

 

For almost a decade we have been conducting an Annual Tennessee Pugilism/All-In Wrestling Boot Camp. I've got to meet and work with some mighty fine folks, and I have sincerely loved every minute of it.

 

Let me drop my other shoe...

 

As I get older I need more and more to wake up and excite my addled brain, and this addled brain has this preposterous idea.

 

A 2-Day Do or Die Combination Man/Woman Boot Camp filled with hardcore old school pugilism, grueling takedown and clinch work, wicked ground and pound and devilish bone-snapping jugular squishing submissions.

 

Add to this mix primitive conditioning, you know the fun stuff: tire flipping, sledgehammers, rope climbing, bear crawling in parking lots, rucking at the break of dawn, pushing limits, testing limits, breaking limits, and setting new horizons.

 

This would be a Team Event. Attendees will be assigned squads and these squads will "compete" against one another in all aspects of the 2-days of Hell.

 

I'm preaching hard-to-the-core here, friends. Don't be skeered-any and all are welcome as long as they show up saying "I'll do what I can with what I've got." Anybody with that attitude is a Hoss in my book.

 

I'm kicking this decision to the free-market.

 

If this promise of minds filled with combative evil and bodies filled with 4 or 5 days of aching reminders afterwards sounds up your screw-loose-upstairs alley, let me know via an email or Facebook like, or FB message (no texts-I'm old, screens are small).

 

We get enough mad men and berserker women who want to truly test themselves, we'll make it happen.

 

If the market prefers weak tea and a softer 2-days I may skip this year and go climb a mountain, or get lost in a desert.

 

Well, what say you-you want it mean? Say the word.

Places to Go; People to See

We'd love to have you come out and play at any of these events, or failing that, we'd love to come out your way.  If you'd like us to come to you, see our Pick An Adventure sidebar and we may just come to you far cheaper than you'd imagine (I'm easy when it come to new friends and fun stuff.)

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.
