It's Friday and time for this week's Legends newsletter;
buncha stuff today...
1-We will be on vacation October 2nd-11th so correspondence and mail-outs during that time will be slow. Trust that we will get everything up to speed ASAP upon our return. Thanks for your patience!
2
-I want to offer a hale and hearty thank you to all who passed along birthday tidings and an extra note of gratitude (or begrudging respect) to those who passed along birthday challenges both devious and absurd. Thank you!
3
-Speaking of vacation-If you have a school or club in the Tampa/St.Pete area and would like to host a laid-back seminar from a vacationing old man, message me and if the dates/times work between my vigorous bouts of napping in hammocks perhaps we can play.
4-Check out the
Info on this month's RAW below.
5
-This week's article is a historical piece on Jack Johnson, just one of the many folks we are using to build our RAW Combination Man Program.
6-
This week's Video Clip has poor audio but if you bear with it you'll see how to use the fist-drive entry for setting a single-underhook. Big thanks to Coach Dan Marx for the use of the bruised sternum.
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

Integrated Curriculum Vol. 6
The 6th of the improved format includes: - 20-GPP Combat Specific Conditioning Challenges.
- We will be using the 6-Tiered MAX O2 Package introduced on RAW 153 on a daily basis to build Maximum Fuel Tanks.
- We add daily All-Round Strength & General Power Training, Combat Somatotrophics, & Fight Specific Agility Drills to maximize our conditioning time.
- Among the fun challenges: Lots of bridge work, agility rolls, bob & weave rope drills, and speed sprawl/pop-up & sprint circuits.
- This volume also has 16 Boxing Drills our focus on this volume is building immediate counter-punching off of using the Snap-Back as a Defense.
- We also start using that combat arm drag to set up our double leg series.
- We'll cover how to react if your combat drag is resisted High or Low and which version of the Double-Leg to bang for each contingency.
- Just as important as your double-leg is how you hit the mat post-double. Do it right and you can avoid a lot of bottoms scissors headaches. We'll hit two drilling options here with the Sprint & Fling.
- We also hit 10 Mat-Work Drills to build facility with the very fluid Cockle-Burr Ride.
- We'll discuss using the Butterfly Pin to keep your opponent flat.
- Using the Dig & Power Half to create Hook and Neck Exposure.
- Setting up a slamming home the Rip-Out Double Wrist-Lock (DWL).
- Two ways to Cram a DWL Hold-Out.
- We'll hit a so evil it should be illegal Reverse Lever Cross-Face.
- And as icing on the cake use a non-travelling cross-face for a tap that requires almost zero-effort.
- As a bonus-we'll hit how to use that Dig we've been wearing out to open up an ocean of possibilities that lead to beaucoup arm/shoulder/neck & spine locks.
Man, I love this volume! We're finally getting out of the basics weeds into the mean, mean, meanness of the old school combination masters-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 155 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.]

Jack Johnson on Wrestling
Mark Hatmaker
|
[Johnson is but one of the many Legends we have in mind while forging this continuing Combination Man Curriculum. We will be delving in-depth into some of his tactics in the near future.]
Before the great Jack Johnson defeated Tommy Burns to become the World Heavyweight boxing champion in 1908, he spent some time as a combination man. (For the uninitiated, a combination man was an athlete who competed in both boxing and wrestling matches). Due to the color barrier in early 20th-century America, Johnson plied his combination trade in Europe for a while where he found the climate a bit more tolerant. Johnson's abilities as a boxer are unquestionable. It is tough to get a handle on how competent a wrestler Johnson was as his early matches were little documented and his return to the wrestling ring in the '20s after falling upon prejudicially motivated hard times is marred by show matches and dirty dealings. We can turn to his last wrestling match before his focus on boxing to gather what the future champion's thoughts on the different games were. His last pre-championship wrestling match was in Paris against the great Jimmy Esson (more on Mr. Esson another day). It was after this match that Johnson decided that he would focus on boxing; he told the publication The Mirror of Life that "boxing would be easier than meeting such brutes again." It is not made clear whether Johnson was referring only to Jimmy Esson or, to other opponents as well. What is clear is that a man who was no stranger to adversity in the boxing ring, wrestling ring, or even outside of the ring-decided that boxing was the easier route to go. These thoughts are not definitive on the twin sports but, they are entertaining none the less.

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.
