Infos

This advanced guide to submission wrestling-the underlying fighting skill associated with such events as the Ultimate Fighting Championships, the King of the Cage, and the Pride Fighting Championships-continues the straightforward, pragmatic approach to ultimate-fighting instruction begun in No Holds Barred Fighting. A review of the basics is provided, followed by more of everything-more takedowns, more takedown defenses, more ground positioning, more submissions, more escapes, and more drills. The cross-disciplinary approach develops physical and mental endurance, total body flexibility and agility, explosive functional strength, and a thorough knowledge of body mechanics and dynamics. Useful lists of related web sites, publications, instructional videos, and other training resources are provided.

Textauszug

Preface Welcome to Killer Submissions! Man, it feels good to write that title. It feels so goodthat I'm going to write it again. Welcome to Killer Submissions! Why am I so excited about it? For the same reason you are. Ninety percent of this book is about tapping the opposition out. Come on, let's face it, that's why we got into this sport in the first place - we wanted in on the beauty of hitting our opponent with things he has never seen before. Don't get me wrong, striking is fantastic and it is indeed a science unto itself, but it is also the aspect of the game where a big strong guy can throw a lucky shot and snag the KO.There is NO way that anyone can hit a lucky double-wrist lock or a lucky refined sleeper. No, that takes science. Submissions are about positioning, control and leverage - three components that don't happen by chance. When I wrote No Holds Barred Fighting: The UltimateGuide to Submission Wrestling, my goal was to bring all the basic ideas, concepts and techniques necessary to send the athlete down an intelligent path to mastery of the sport all wrapped up in an economical package. I love that book. I feel that all of the information found in it is of great value, and I heartily hope that you have studied it well before running through this little cookbookand putting your own painful stews together. I sincerely believe that you can know all of the submissions in the world, but if you can't wrestle (I mean real wrestling: controlling, riding and pressuring) you won't rise to the top of your ability. As much as I love that book, the book you now hold was in the back of my mind while writing the first - that is, a compact, transportable submission guide. I wanted to fill the first text with many more hooks, submissions, uncle-inducers, whatever you want to call them, but I knew that it was and is vital to provide the essential groundwork (no pun intended) to get you going. To truly capture the full panoply of the NHB game, there needs to be an accompanying text on NHB striking and NHB conditioning (trust me, they are already in the works). I gave you the basics in No Holds Barred Fighting. With Killer Submissions you've got the first of many references for tapping (submissions are seemingly endless). One problem in writing this volume was not how to fill it but what to leave out. For the most part, this book is pure OD taps.
