The High-Crotch Single Part 1:
Entries, Ground & Pound, and Submissions
OK Crew, we've been building that base via separating skills and now it's time to start tying them all together into one vicious package. On this volume we will take one take-down that is a bit under-utilized in MMA and open up its horizons :
- We open with the mechanics of the High-Crotch Single and why it might need to be a bigger part of your game than the ubiquitous double-leg.
- We show an easy drop that utilizes foot-sticking rather than any lift that will run you into guillotine trouble.
- Of course take-downs are no good if you can't set them up, so remember all that Dominant Angle work we've done? Well we hit 4 Tactics to get right in that back-pocket where you need to be--
- We'll start with a base Slap & Catch Entry, then apply ways to un-weave the clinch to get to where you need to be and then...
- All that boxing work we did on RAW 156 will payoff as we slam right into the drop out of a Bob Fitzsimmons special.
- Once we get the drop we need to have a plan in place-well how about 15 plans?
- We'll open with 2 secondary moves post-take-down that nullifies the potential guard threat [Step-Aways, Crooks Hooks, & Thigh Crams.]
- We then glide into a Near-Side Knee-Ride Series that should appeal to both ground and pound finishers and submission artists.
- Submission players will like even more theFar-Side Knee-Ride and 3 sneaky collapsed hooks that come out of this. [I'd be a liar if I didn't say that the Reverse Lever was one of them.]
- Next we'll hit a Knee-Ride Slice for those who don't trust high-riding.
- And as the icing on the cake-the last drill sets us up for RAW 158 where we turn this into Leg Lock Lollapalooza.
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 157 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.]

The Vale Alliance
Kris Iatskevich and I have started an organization backed with a private Facebook forum called The Vale Alliance.
What can you expect to find in The Vale Alliance forum? Well, a typical week might look a little something like this: - 5-6 Daily WODs offered in both Loaded (gear-required) & Un-Loaded (No-gear required) versions.
- WODs that address the needs of the MMA fighter, the grappling-only athlete, the Tactical Operative, the Obstacle Course Racer.
- Video Clips of Pugilism and Boxing Drills
- Video Clips of wrestling, MMA, and jacketed wrestling instruction.
- Musings on the life honorable covering all warrior cultures from the Spartans to the Viking Konungasogur, from Marcus Aurelius to the Finnish concept of Sisu.
- Historical essays on warriors and warrior practices from Mimbreno Strap Runs to the training regimen of the vaunted knight Jean II le Maingre.
- These historical essays will also offer ideas on how to recreate their unique practices into your own training.
- You will be receiving exclusive content from myself, uber-Coach Kris Iatskevich, Combatives-Operative Coach Jim Marx, + a few others to be named soon noted in their fields of stamina training, GPP conditioning, Kettlebell conditioning, and jacketed wrestling.
- You will have interaction with The Vale Alliance instructors and fellowship with a like-minded community that strives to be strong, to be worthy.
"Just as wood cannot burn without fire, neither can a noble man achieve perfect honor nor worldly glory without prowess."-Jean Froissart The Vale Alliance will strive to be the wood, the fuel for the fires to forge harder, faster, stronger bodies-bodies worthy of a warrior. The Vale Alliance will strive to provide fuel for thought to build and strengthen the honorable character of worthy men and women. If these words have spoken to you, and you are ready to undertake the strong and worthy path-The Vale Alliance goes live tomorrow, but you can join the Alliance today. [Again all dues paying RAW Subscribers-you are good to go. We will get you added to that forum over the next few days. Unfortunately we cannot offer this same courtesy to non-RAW Subscribers as the reality of the world dictates that this much work must be subsidized.] VALE!
