It's the first of the month and time to release our newest ESP RAW DVD (volume 151).
Complete details of what's in this volume in the next block.
First-We'll be in Montreal this weekend with Uber-Coaches Iatskevich and Gabriel Rossi see our Home Page for details.
We will be on vacation the following week so correspondence and mail-outs will be on hold till I get back. Trust that upon our return we'll get to all of you ASAP. Thanks for your patience!
First info on the big changes...
Big, big changes-read on...
Starting with RAW 150 and continuing with this volume each volume will offer:
-
Multi-Day Conditioning Programs that will run on 60-90 Day Cycles to allow us to refresh and re-charge throughout the year in a periodization format.
-
We will blend through General Physical Preparedness (GPP) and Stamina training in 26 different Focus-Cycles from Basic to WTF!
-
Each cycle will have a particular Target Improvement from standard GPP, to Bodyweight-only, to heavy Power & Strength work, to Eccentric-Strength via Unorthodox Work (Slosh-pipes, sandbags, un-equal bars, etc.).
-
Each cycle will begin and end with a benchmark test that will allow you to gauge and mark progress.
-
Each RAW syllabi will now include these in-depth monthly training plans as well as video instruction of any unorthodox exercise so we as a crew have a performance standard. (Alternate exercises for Rookies will be offered where necessary.)
-
The Private Facebook Group will be our support/commiseration forum, where we will no longer post the entire day's training, but rather reference it from the Key Name in each month's syllabi, as in "Just finished today's 'Prisoner Hell Hill' challenge-I hate life."
-
There will be approximately 22 Training Days per month that break down roughly into twelve 12-Round Combat Training Days and 10-12 GPP/Stamina Days.
-
We are retiring the inTENS Program and moving to this format as we are seeing greater conditioning gains across all spectrums with this less randomized, more focused periodization approach.
-
Each RAW will also feature training material across all 3 major areas of MMA/Street-work, that is: Striking, Takedowns (Shooting & Clinching), and Groundwork.
-
We will be providing multiple Combat 12-Round Workouts with each RAW built on the Combination Man logical progression premise.
-
These multi-format RAWs will allow you to quickly hone in on your area(s) of focus (conditioning, striking, shooting, clinching, offensive/defensive groundwork) so that each RAW gives you more bang for your buck whether using them as tools for solo training or as class templates.
-
You will also have the option of receiving either a hard-copy (paper copy) of the monthly RAW syllabi or an electronic copy sent to your device on the day of your subscription payment. [We're still working on automatic video download-stay patient.]
-
To compensate for this more comprehensive approach the RAW subscription fee will increase accordingly but not for current subscribers or new or returning members in the month of April. Current members are grandfathered in, new and returning folks can hit the present fee during the April grace period.
-
In a nutshell, the new RAW Program will offer the Comprehensive Conditioning and Combat Training Drill approach we've laid out, access to the private Facebook forum, access to the No Second Chance (NSC) Street Drill Assignments, and 15% off of all products and services available in our store.
-
Or course, the rubber hitting the road is always the price. You can join or re-join the revised RAW Crew program for the monthly fee of $26.50 per month inside the United States, $36.50 International.
-
The price never goes up for members-in other words, at whatever point you enter the program that is your fee as long as you are member. And, of course, you may quit at any time-there are no contracts. Of course, we think you'll appreciate the amount of thought that is going into the comprehensive program and will want to stick around.
-
The price bump goes into effect May 1st.
-
We will also honor the "Welcome aboard!" package of 3 additional RAW volumes (of your choice) for free to any new subscriber from now until May 1st.
We've been cooking this comprehensive sequenced format for some time and we think you are going to see great strides in approaching the material in this manner.
Onward and upward!
Sincerely,
Mark Hatmaker

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.
