Grappler's Toolbox Reborn

Description

Product Description The Rebirth of the Hall of Fame Award Winning Martial Art Conditioning Program designed by Distinguished Master of Sport, former USA National Sambo Team Coach and Champion, Scott Sonnon.Martial artists all admire natural grace of masterful grapplers from Jiujitsu, Judo, Sambo and Wrestling. To an extent, much of that ferocious fluidity is learned. For movement masters like Scott Sonnon, learning didn t come easily. Persistent, he traveled the world to find and formulate the right methods to match up with the learning requirements of the non-gifted. His unique approach stands on the broad shoulders of his Olympic and national coaching and international success on the mat. Coach Sonnon designed these biomechanical exercises as a powerful form of specific physical preparedness which: - creates a safety valve for when movements deviate from the expected, like they always do in the chaos of and fighting, so that when you or your opponent move too far, too fast, too hard, you can safely recover and stay on target. - three-dimensionally strengthens connective tissue (the outer bag of your fascia and the muscle it contains, and the inner bag forming the joint capsules and holding in the precious synovial fluid, ground substance, and of course your cartilage and bones.) - provide a movement model for your nervous system to improve your technique without a partner, like a form of shadow grappling - probably the most under-estimated form of practice in modern day gyms. If you practice these as a warm-up, before your practicing the technique with a partner, of if as your form of off-season conditioning, you ll skyrocket your performance on the mat. Practice consistently for 60 days and you will completely rewire your nervous system. Review The principles presented regarding the bio-mechanics of transitional movement would be of interest to all SERIOUS practitioners of sport grappling REGARDLESS of style. I was very impressed with the amount of thought which must have went into producing such a tape. There is no question in my mind that the tape addresses an issue in sport grappling which has never been addressed previously in the U.S. --Professor Frank E. Sanchez, 10th dan grandmaster, Soke (Headfounder), Honorary Ambassador-At-Large for Guam, An Honorary member and Advisor to 23 International martial arts organizations, Founder of the WORLD HEAD OF FAMILY SOKESHIPThe Biomechanical exercises in the Grappler's Toolbox are crucial to the success of any athlete wishing for better mobility, increased power in their motions, and a higher success in their already learned base of techniques. Biomechanical Exercises are methods of training that require no equipment but yourself and can be done anywhere, yet have the capability to improve your game whatever it may be, by teaching your body to move smoother, cleaner, more efficiently, which could also lead to an increase of speed, power and endurance, as well as improved balance. --Todd Milhoan -World Youth Games Sambo Champion, 2X Espoir World Sambo Champion, 12x USA National Sambo champion, Olympic Training Center ResidentI used Scott's respiratory methods and his personal coaching to win my division as a purple belt at the 2002 Pan Ams. I focused on upper, middle and lower breathing drills...standing, on all fours, and on my back in guard position. The drills RADICALLY improved my recovery during my matches and in between matches. I never felt better, with more wind than when I did Scott's drills. You must do the work, though. They aren't magic. You must be disciplined and do them every day! It took me about 2 weeks to notice a difference in my rolling and about a month to really feel like something had changed in my fundamental way I breathed when I rolled under pressure. Hope this helps in some way. Note that I am not affiliated with Scott in way...not a student or coach in his system. I HAVE however used his methods and guidance since the earliest days of this forum and he has had a tremendous impact in my S/C and sports psychology components to my training. --Bruce Carleton, 2002 BJJ Pan-American Champion, SWAT Team Tactical Paramedic P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor Scott Sonnon is a multiple-sport International Champion, multiple-time USA National Team Coach, multiple time Martial Art and Fitness Hall of Fame inductee and nominee.
