Integrated Curriculum Vol. 4:
Building the Base
The 4th of the improved format includes:
- 22-GPP Conditioning Challenges.
- We introduce a 6-Tiered MAX O2 Package that will build speed, power, and agility. We're talking some high RPM Stamina.
- We offer 22-Days of MAX O2 sequencing to get you on the road to "never say quit" endurance.
- This volume also has 20 Rounds of Boxing Drills that feature "Inside & Tight" work. If you think of the holding work of "Gentleman" John Jackson from the early days of fisticuffs you're on the right page. (The techniques were legal in the early days, now illegal in boxing, but legal again in MMA-a most useful skill-set to build.)
- 26-Rounds of Clinch Work including...
- A high-percentage 6-Submission Follow Flow.
- And three solo arm bar escape drills plus their practical applications.
- We'll also hit 14-Rounds of 1/4 Position Escapes (Turtle) that all put you back on top or at the very least aggressively neutral.
- Oh, and one of these escapes rolls right into a sneaky little DWL variation.
The 6-Tiered MAX O2 Package and a total of 60 Rounds of Combat Drilling-what's not to love?
This volume (as with all volumes of RAW) comes with a printed syllabus for inclusion in your training notebook.
ESP RAW 153 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.]

Fingerhakeln
Mark Hatmaker
|
Fingerhakeln (also: Hagglziegn and Steirisch-Hackelziehen) was an Alpine wrestling hybrid that seems to have been competed primarily in the Austrian Alps. This unusual grappling game is sure to be of interest to grip-strength aficionados. The two competitors would sit across a table from one another in chairs and place one hand behind their backs. The other arm would be extended across the table with the middle finger extended. The competitors would then hook each other's middle-fingers together and the game commenced.
The object of the game was to extend your opponent's middle-finger causing him to lose his grip. Variations of the game include the fingers hooking a rubber-coated steel loop, or a leather strap; while some variations demanded that you not merely break your opponent's grip but, using only the single finger grip, pull your opponent's head or body across a centerline drawn on the table.
Josef Marcher, a native of Kirchdorf born in 1863, was the foremost champion of this sport in the 19th century. His success was attributed to his unusually thick fingers.

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.
