\"I GUARANTEE MY TAKEDOWN COURSE WILL IMPROVE YOUR STAND UP JIU-JITSU
AT LEAST 100% OR I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY\"
Dear Fellow Grappler,
Since I compete in both sports, people ask me all the time - What is
better Judo or Jiu-Jitsu? The answer - It depends… The vast majority
of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes emphasize ground grappling techniques
while Judo classes emphasize standup grappling. So much can be gained
by cross training in both sports. I think is fair to say that advanced
Judo competitors have tremendous respect for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and
the best Jiu-Jitsu practitioners have a lot of respect for Judo.
Over the last 10 years practicing Judo, I have given blood, sweat
and tears mastering throwing and takedown techniques. In June of 2008,
I WON THE US OLYMPIC TRIALS and I made the 2008 OLYMPIC TEAM.
Representing my country in Beijing was one of the proudest moments of
my life; I can't even describe it. While I didn't win a medal, I was
proud to finish 9th, and I am running, lifting and practicing every
day to reach the medal platform in 2012.
Over the last couple of years I started cross training in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu and it has really helped my Judo game. I was really
surprised at how even the new competitors were adept at utilizing
ground grappling techniques. I have seen white belts pulling off
really complicated moves in class and in competition. While I am
amazed by how quickly the BJJ guys learn on the ground, I have noticed
that they are making a lot of mistakes when grappling on their feet,
and I have shown some of my new BJJ friends some quick fixes that
helped their games tremendously. The Reality is….
MOST JIU-JITSU GUYS ARE MAKING LOTS OF MISTAKES ON THEIR FEET AND THE
ERRORS ARE EASY TO FIX!
Is your ground game better than your standup game? Most Jiu-Jitsu
competitors would undoubtedly say yes. It's pretty simple: if you
train to get better on the ground, you will get better on the ground,
but if you don’t practice standup techniques, you won't improve.
Once I started teaching some of my BJJ friends standup techniques,
they started improving their takedowns really quickly. In fact, many
of them say that after a few adjustments to their posture, gripping,
and throwing techniques, they feel even more comfortable on their feet
than they do on the ground. They now realize:
WHEN 2 GRAPPLERS ARE EVENLY MATCHED, THE COMPETITOR WHO TAKES THEIR
OPPONENT DOWN WINS AT LEAST 75% OF THE TIME
I've seen it time after time, a guy who is competing in class or in
a competition scores a takedown and gets a mental edge along with 2
points. The guy on the bottom can sometimes overcome a point deficit
and a bad position but it is much more likely, the guy on top will
keep advancing and win the match or get the better of the practice
session. If you can master some of the core techniques of standup
grappling it can mean the difference between being taken down and
taking your opponent down. Not knowing these techniques is like
leaving points, wins and a lot of fun on the table - It is fun being
the thrower, not being the throw-ee.

There are a lot of videos out there teaching Judo throws and many
others teaching takedowns for Jiu Jitsu and MMA. While a lot of these
courses are very well done, I haven't seen many that concentrate on
how to actually pull off a takedown on someone who is fighting and
squirming to stay up. I wanted to develop a course that would help the
Jiu-Jitsu guys I teach defend against the most common takedown
attempts and be able to use some reliable - low risk takedowns and
throws. Here are the modules I teach in my course. I will send you a
new module every 3 days. Each video lesson is accompanied by
descriptive written instructions illustrated with pictures.
Lesson 1 - Cross Grip Sumi Gaeshi I see it all the time, a strong
opponent grabs a competitor firmly and whips them around like a rag
doll. When I teach you what to do to this aggressor, you will be able
to control them and use their strength against them. Lesson 2 -
Cross Grip Sumi to the Knee Pick This is a great move when your
fighting a competitor that is aware of the Cross Grip Sumi Gaeshi.
When they react to the Cross Grip Sumi Gaeshi they open themselves up
for this great and simple knee pick that will put you in great
position for the transition to your ground game. Lesson 3 -
Defending The Single and Double Leg Takedown There are a lot of former
wrestlers in Jiu-Jitsu classes and competitions, and if you don't know
how to defend this mainstay move, they will hit you with it time after
time. Lesson 4 - Breaking Grips If a strong guy grabs you and you
can’t get his hands off of you, that isn’t a good feeling. After
learning these techniques you will be able to peel anyone’s hands
right off of you in no time. Lesson 5 - Throw Defenses Both
wrestlers and Judo guys know how to throw and if you don't know how to
properly stop these throws, you will be finding yourself down a
takedown time and time again. There is a very reliable defense to each
and I will explain it. Lesson 6 - Knee Osoto Gari I will
demonstrate on video and in print the proper way to throw and set up
this very reliable, low risk attack. I don’t know of any other
course or video that shows my version of Osoto. I find it very easy to
apply. Lesson 7 - Hopping Ouchi Gari This is a variation of a
very common backward throw that if you know how to set up properly it
can be used time and time again. I have a very unusual way of using
this technique that I am betting you have never seen before.
Lesson 8 - Ouchi Gari Variation #2 This is another variation of the
very common backwards throw Ouchi Gari and I have found to be very
successful against a wide range of opponents. If properly executed,
this can become a very effective technique to give you a great
transition into your ground game. Lesson 9 - Stepping Foot Sweep
Foot sweeps allow a smaller opponent to knock down a bigger one quite
easily. I will show you on video and in email how to drop an opponent
with simple foot maneuver. Even if you don't successfully take your
opponent to the mat, you will often create openings with the move.
Lesson 10 - Sasae This is a great technique to knock an opponent down
after creating the proper reaction and getting the right body
position. This attack is there to be had in most matches and I'll show
you how to capitalize on it. Lesson 11 - Firemans carry This is a
classic wrestling move that has gained a lot of popularity in all
grappling sports. Even a big guy can pull off a firemans carry. I'll
show you through video and email how to pull this move off each and
every time. Lesson 12 - Te Garuma This technique is a great
technique to use on an opponent right off the grip. It takes speed and
explosion, and is an excellent technique to add to anyone’s game.
Lesson 13 - Step Behind Takedown The Step Behind is a technique that
has a unique entrance that is unexpected by many opponents. It is a
great technique to use on any opponent to not only get the takedown
but also to put you in great position for your transition to the
ground game. Lesson 14 - Kouchi This is a very smooth low risk
foot technique that will work on anyone if properly performed. I will
show you the correct way to effectively execute this takedown.
Lesson 15 - Differences between Judo and Jiu Jitsu These two sports
have many similarities, but you cannot just use one for the other. If
you are going to apply one of these sports to the other you cannot
just go buy any DVD or book and apply it. You must learn them from
someone who understands the different scoring and rules to each sport
so that you are properly informed on what techniques to use and what
techniques to stay away from.
\\"SO YOU ARE GIVING ME 15 VIDEO LESSONS WITH 15 ACCOMPANYING EMAIL
LESSONS SO I CAN MASTER EACH TECHNIQUE?\\"
Just as Jiu-Jitsu and Judo are different, they compliment each
other. Well I believe video lessons and written lessons compliment
each other as well. Therefore I will showing you the techniques on
video and giving you thorough descriptions of each.
color:#BD171D;font-size:20px;line-height:4em;">I will give you my
personal email
...address and I will respond to 25 emails a week. I will print the
best questions and answers and send those to the group every week as
well. I think being able to ask a teacher a question can mean the
difference between learning a technique and not and I want to help my
students.
OK DAN, HOW MUCH?
I spend most of my time training and I don't teach much. When I do
seminars, I charge $2,500 for the group minimum and I charge $150 for
private lessons when I am able to find the time to schedule one.
People say I could probably justify charging $200 per person if I was
going to send them 15 videos along with accompanying lessons and
frankly I am not even sure how to price being able to ask questions
and have them personally responded to.
FOR A LIMITED TIME, I AM OFFERING THIS COURSE FOR ONLY $5 SO YOU CAN
TRY IT OUT AND BE SURE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR MONEY’S WORTH. IF YOU
DECIDE TO KEEP THE COURSE, $42 WILL BE BILLED THREE WEEKS LATER FOR A
TOTAL OF JUST $47. THIS IS A GREAT VALUE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR
GAME WILL IMPROVE.
To summarize You get:
* A Video Lesson Every 3 Days (15 Lessons in All)
* A Written Lesson Every 3 Days illustrated with Pictures
* My Personal Email So You Can Ask Me Questions If You Get Stuck
THERE IS NO RISK TO TRYING IT. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE
COURSE AT ANYTIME IN THE FIRST 60 DAYS, I WILL GLADLY REFUND YOUR
MONEY.
Thanks and I wish you the best in your grappling career,
