ESP RAW 159

The Sprawl & Secondary Moves

Crew, we are going to take the number one defensive tool we have against a good leg-diver, a master-shooter- the almighty sprawl and break it down into it's 4 Primary Positional Falls.

Each Positional Fall calls for its own hip adjustment and hand placement. We'll make sure we get these right so the good wrestler's secondary attack (what he does post sprawl) does not wind up with you on your back.
It's not enough to simply sprawl, it's what you do and where you go next that often tells the tale, that's why you need your own secondary moves.
We will provide response chains for each of the 4 Primary Falls.
These chains follow combat-pragmatic causal links, that is, if drilled precisely your opponent will choose the submission that he falls prey to, not you.
Speaking of submissions, yes, they are here an evil 13, plus a side-tangent 4 sub digression (I do get excited at times.)
Don't want subs, just need good control for ground and pound? We've got you covered.
Not comfortable on the ground and just wanna be a good defensive wrestler and get back to your feet and get back to throwing strikes? We've got you covered.

25 Drills and Tactics in all for this primary and elemental position.

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

ESP RAW 159 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.]

To pay only $26.50 for this DVD + receive 3 other RAW DVDs for free and gain free membership to the Vale Alliance, subscribe to our ESP RAW DVD Service.

Boot Camp Sneak Peek

Here's a brief preview of your Instructors and what you may expect to see covered.

This grizzled old man will be detailing the Drill Sequences on the upcoming Paladin release The Submission Prism.

And...

* Revised and terrible-er Headlocks as finishers. [We'll be putting that hip to good use.]

* Counters to all forms of Double-Wristlocks in all positions.

* The unorthodox but mighty powerful "Crunch Hook" of Eder Jofre.

* Re-fining the switch for MMA.

* "Dog Leash" submissions.

* Disguising your clinch Kid Chocolate style.

* Resurrecting the Lever Punch.

And lots more meanness.

Street Combatives and No Second Chance Coach Jim Marx will be teaching:

Counter handgun, counter long gun. Active shooter response.
Cognitive tips to withstand tough training & trauma situations.
Color-Code Evaluation.
Situational awareness drills.
Primary street targets and much much more.

Street Combatives, Filipino Martial artist extraordinaire, and G-Man by trade (I don't hold it against him) John Mayer will be offering the following:

Live Blade demos.
Realistic blade disarming.
Cadeno De Mano - "Chain of hands."
And some wicked twists on conditioning.

Sambo Coach John Miller will be hitting us with:

Low-amplitude sambo throws.
And a wicked series of leg-locks from the Bear trap series.
Evil stuff!

Boxing Coach & Women's Team Leader Kylie Hatmaker has on the agenda:

Live-Fire Boxing on the Move
1-for-1 Striking Drills.
Defensive Plus Ones from her soon to be released video from the folks at Stay-Safe Media.
Dirty Boxing Into, Inside, and Out of the Clinch.

As for the Western Warrior Challenges, we'll keep those under wraps, but allow me to say they aren't all stressful. As a matter of fact the Level 3 Crew will be led through an over-lapping 5 senses re-orientation exercised used by Southwest Warrior tribes to open hyper-awareness pre-raids (this ain't no mystical thing, it's pragmatic as hell and works like a charm.) We will work on stealth and movement drills, and be introduced to how to track your prey inside and outside of your skull.

Among the Outer Limits Drills to be hit: The Violent Minority, numerous handicapping drills, partner defense and release drills (duct-tape), sensory deprivation drills, and much much more.

Oh, and did I mention that there is gonna be a special guest instructor? More on that later.

Well, you gonna come out and play or sit on the couch? That couch will be there when you get back.

The Western Warrior Boot: Levels I, II, & III

This Boot Camp covers hardcore old school pugilism, grueling takedown and clinch work, wicked ground and pound, and devilish bone-snapping jugular squishing submissions.

But that ain't all...

Add to this mix real-world chaos drills for street self-defense and tactical operative response. Sensory impairment drills, awareness drills, handicapping drills, plus many others from The Outer Limitsvocabulary.

Plus...

Tried & true historical warrior conditioning, you know the fun stuff that was used by warrior cultures of days gone by. You will work hardihood and stamina drills used by the Spartans and the Mimbreno Apache. You'll experience challenging strength work in the Roman Legionnaire and Knight tradition. Plus many intriguing ideas culled from the Viking sagas, the Celtic warrior ethos, and many other fierce traditions.

We will be pushing limits, testing limits, breaking limits, and setting new horizons.

To foster that warrior camaraderie...

This Boot is a Team Event. Whether you come with partners in tow or form squads upon arrival these squads will "compete" against one another in all aspects: Combat Drills, Technique Execution, Warrior Conditioning Challenges, everything. The idea is to create camaraderie, foster a no man left behind ethic, and have teams plan/strategize/conspire as they coach teammates through different skills and drills.

Think you ain't ready?

Sure you are. All tasks will be scalable to the individual. No man or woman is left behind in the Western Warrior Boots. The only ones left behind are those who don't bother to show up and then ask "What's it like?"

That's no way to live a life. Get out there and taste it, get out there and do it, Crew!

The Western Warrior Boot Camp is offered in 3 Tiers, you pick and choose your own level of HOO-RAH!

Level 1-Is all day Saturday, February 27th, 2016.
Level 2-Is all day Saturday & Sunday, February 27 & 28th, 2016.
Level 3-Is all day Saturday- with intermittent "emergency" sessions throughout Saturday night, and all-day Sunday. In this version you will camp right there in the gym, sleeping on the mat.

Each Attendee will earn a shirt denoting their level of accomplishment.

This inaugural Boot will be held at Coach Bill Whitworth's beautiful facility.
