ESP RAW: Volume 58 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 10: Catch and Release Vol. 2

Price:$42 (International orders must add $10 shipping via the Shipping Button at the top and/or bottom of this page.)

ESP RAW: Volume 59 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 11: Catch and Release Vol. 3

Price:$42 (International orders must add $10 shipping via the Shipping Button at the top and/or bottom of this page.)

ESP RAW: Volume 61 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 13: The Head & Arm Position Part 3 (Broken Scarf Hold)

Included:  The Knee Ride a formidable position, but it does violate positional theory so we've got to nail down how to make it a bit tighter and closer to positional theory adherence--6 ways to flow with the knee ride and 5 ways to easy finishes (not counting strikes).  One of these, the Elbow Pump to DWL is subtle but oh, so useful.  The Jerk-Over Series.  The Broken Scarf Hold allows your opponent a free far-arm which he can use to brace/post for escapes--we need to have a vocabulary to take that arm out of play and/or snap it.  We'll hit Reverse Arm Bars, variations on Dead-Man TWL's and the set-ups appropriate to your opponent's resistance feed (including a nice little trick used by the formidable Verne Gagne).  We'll wind this volume up with an adjustment that makes a Sit-Out Stocks from this position more than just a show-hold.  We're 22 moves deep on this volume alone.

ESP RAW: Volume 62 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 14: Cross-Body 1st Arm Position Volume 1

This volume works as a stand-alone tool or as an adjunct to the Cross-Body work on The Complete Grappler.  On this volume we begin the long road to Cross-Body virtuosity.  Keep in mind the cross-body position is not one static tool; opponents are live animals and defend cross-body from a variety of arm positions.  Rather than have a submission vocabulary that attempts to "force" the submissions we "want", we need to address an approach that exploits the submissions we are given.  With this "gift system" of submissions in mind, we will break the cross-body down into Arm References.  On this volume we cover the Double Underhook and 1st Arm Position.  The 1st Arm Position is when you hit your Cross-Body Ride and your opponent keeps his near arm between your bodies and his far arm on the head-side of your head.  (If my descriptors seem a bit confusing see our 1st book in the NHB series to maybe un-slurry the water.)  Once we've addressed the 1st Arm Position, we discuss the proper way to trap/keep the desired limbs and then run through 30(!) submissions all from this compact little arena that call for very little change in positional integrity.  (This volume also includes a loooong digression on the Top-Wrist Lock--TWL or Reverse Double-Wrist Lock).  This volume includes head attacks, a bit of street work, near and far arm attacks, and an easy way to "un-clutch" a gripping opponent.

ESP RAW: Volume 63 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 15: Cross-Body 1st Arm Position Volume 2

(This picks up right where RAW 62 left off, but it can be used as a stand-alone volume.)  We open with a discussion of why some segments of the old school wrestling community consider the Top Wrist Lock a show hold (the main reason being the lock-grip block that we detail on this volume).  Once you understand this block the TWL will pose far less of a threat to you, but...  On this volume we show not one, but two ways to blow through the lock-grip block.  We then move on to a Double-Wrist Lock PhD class many of you have asked for.  We refresh the DWL anatomy lecture here as well as delineate opportunistic DWL grips (this is a dozen techniques in and of themselves); the meat of this material in my mind is the discussion of elbow wedge placement.  This little detail adds power (and perhaps more importantly) pain to the DWL set-up that you should find remedies most all of your DWL hold-out problems.  We then discuss the ins and outs of DWL step-overs (when to use them and when not to) and last but not least, a sneaky little toe-hold for your strongest DWL hold-out.

ESP RAW: Volume 64 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 16: Cross-Body 1st Arm Position Volume 3

This RAW picks up right where the last volume left off (it can still be used as a stand alone volume).  You combine this material with the previous DWL material, you will be able to chase a DWL into Hell itself.  We cover  the DWL Dorsal, the DWL Shark Fin and how not to get rolled, Step-Over Shark Fin Arm Scissors with fall-off follow ups (even if you hit your back--this one separates the elbow f-a-s-t; be careful), we then hit Straight Leg Scissors, Crooked Leg Scissors, and IMHO the most important variation, the Figure-4 Neck Breaker (it's there every time you're in Dorsal Position).  You have an opponent with a great shrimp to half-or-closed guard?  Well, you'll need the Flare Step-Over series to keep chasing that DWL--3 submissions in one.  Your opponent powering out of the DWL?  No problem.  Two t-i-g-h-t solutions.  Gripping his trunks to hold-out?  Use this twist and he'll leg go ASAP.  He use an old school Knee Wedge Beat?  (Not a bad idea, and we show you how to do it right)  But we show you how to beat it with a shoulder rock.

ESP RAW: Volume 65 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 17: Cross-Body 1st Arm Position Volume 4

This volume covers the Single-Arm DWL, two varieties of Far Hip Crank, Corner Turning Short Arm Bars, the Near-Knee Short Scissors and then we plunge into a lengthy segment of how to hit Cross-Body Knee-Rides and the submissions peculiar to this Knee-Ride including: Head-Lifts, Head-Sleepers, Face-Posting, Throat Posting, Striking, Collapsing, Sneaks & Slides, two varieties of Down Arm Bars from this position, the False SAS, and a variety of sweet submissions versus an opponent who posts either on your chest or Riding Knee.  There are 19 techniques total on this volume of RAW and as always, it comes with a printed syllabus for inclusion in your training notebook.

ESP RAW: Volume 66 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 18: Cross-Body 1st Arm Position Volume 5

We continue working from the cross-body ride and rising to a knee-ride and countering all of the ways your opponent may try to counter/escape.  We address knee blocking with Dorsal Double Wrist-Locks, Elbow Spikes, Shark Fins, Step-Over Shark Fins from the top, and fall-offs to Inside & Outside (this one will tighten no matter where he goes), then we hit 4 varieties of head-scissors.  From there we start exploring turning opportunities and shoot cornering short-arm bars, far leg bars, far knee scissors, near-leg bars and near-knee scissors, and knee sneaks.  We then close up by examining options versus open and closed side rolling gambits from the bottom man.  In short, if you've got a knee-ride from the cross-body position you'll find ways to finish here.

ESP RAW: Volume 67 THE POSITIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMISSIONS VOLUME 19: Cross-Body 1st Arm Position Volume 6

This volume covers more subs from the Cross-Body Position--here's what you get:  Pop-Over Knee Rides, Sprawls, and Head Hooks vs. open and closed side rolling.  Hamburger ride variations and a complete Cobra series that includes ground 'n' pound, wrist attacks, arm and shoulder attacks, chokes, cranks, head-scissors, and top saddle sneaks.  22 subs in all on this volume presented in detailed depth with tactical consideration behind sub choices.

ESP RAW: Volume 68 BEATING THE REAR NAKED CHOKE-MASTER CLASS

We completely break the RAW template here.  RAWs are typically technique heavy (lots of submissions) but here we focus on one thing and one thing only but...we cover it in minute, excruciating detail.  The Rear Naked Choke.  The Sleeper.  He's got your back; the hooks are in.  We've covered escapes from here before, but before we even launch escape material there seems to be a blurry area where the fundamentals of pre-choke defense and in-choke measures are ignored or seemingly unknown.  RAW 68 breaks down these fundamentals: Posture (and why the chin tuck is wrong), the 2 grips required to survive, and leg position (leg positioning is perhaps the most important aspect of preventing and/or surviving the rear naked choke--master the leg work on this volume and you'll go a long way towards a safer, tighter defensive game).  Next we introduce the Live-Arm Concept and why blocking the live-arm is of utmost importance.  We then discuss three core leg movements that are initiated simultaneously and go a long way towards shucking hooks immediately: The tuck, the pike, and the knee pocket.  We address the proper way to reach shin-locks (and why they, more often than not become prompt toe-holds and what to do with a prompt toe-hold once you have it.)  We discuss how to achieve and utilize a cuddle-bridge to escape the choke.  We finish with thigh-blocking to leg-hooking--this concept will change your defensive game.

ESP RAW: Volume 69 NECK CRANK LOLLAPALOOZA

We start from a collar-and-elbow tie-up and introduce the Sock 'Em Neck Crank with a little fist assist; we then march into Halch territory (if you haven't been introduced to the Halch yet, think of it as a snapdown turned up to 11).  From the Halch we then run Hook Chanceries, Post Chanceries, Finger-Hook Chanceries, Bar & Chancery to Flat & Chin Hook Cranks (we've got just what the doctor ordered to remedy those flat crank dilemmas we've been seeing).  We then hit Jaw Hook Roll-Overs, the new improved Back Runner, the streamlined Maximum Crank to three finishes--Flat, Hook, and Reverse Lever Cranks or...how to do a grip flip to a wicked 3/4 Drop.  We then transition the Bar & Chancery to a Pop-Over Stocks with one tiny change in hand position and finish with a standing Strait-Jacket Cram.  All in all,  this volume gives you more than what you need to finish from head-to-head while staying on top without pulling guard for a 50/50 guillotine attempt.
