December 12, 2021
The Struggle
Are you tired of being manipulated and controlled in the clinch?
Not knowing what to do and how to do it?
Do you find grappling to be confusing, elusive, an impossible to solve mystery of the known universe?
Overcome the struggle.
In my masterclass on grappling we will breakdown the inner core of grappling to give you the insight, tools, and know-how to survive in this position. Go on to build effective means at defeating an opponent when they latch on to you, but are still capable of throwing a strike, kick, knee, or elbow to ruin your day.
Fear inhibits our abilities. Defeat fear with knowledge.
