This book makes no assumptions about your current level of fitness or baseline knowledge about training methodologies: the ONLY attribute you need is the desire to get stronger! This book is also intended as a "poor man's guide" to grip strength training.

Many of the exercises I describe in this book can be performed using items you have around the house, and any gadgets I describe can be easily constructed from materials found at any sporting goods and/or hardware store. The contents and conclusions presented in this book are the result of my own training, study, and experience, and that of my coaches, clients, martial arts students.

Download or read book The Grappler s Manifesto written by Lance Freimuth and published by Victory Belt Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far removed from other forms of combat, grappling is the one-on-one embodiment of a physical altercation. Face-to-face, only the grittiest fighter with the strongest fortitude dares to call himself a grappler. The Grappler's Manifesto is the definitive instructional guide to this most brutal of all fighting styles. A grappler chooses not to avoid his opponent, or swiftly dispatch him at a distance, but charges headlong into his adversary, grinding him down until he collapses. The grappler prevails in close-quarter fights because of his indomitable spirit and unflinching willpower. To become a true grappler requires technical acumen, but also the conviction to transform into a dispassionate warrior who simply keeps moving forward until the opponent yields. Calling upon the experience of the most methodical, ruthless, stoic fighters of our generation, The Grappler's Manifesto uses step-by-step color photographs and revealing narrative to illustrate exactly how the pros are able to flail their opponents on the mat and triumph over them in hand-to-hand combat. If you've ever wanted to know how to destroy an opponents' willpower and force him to surrender, you need this book.

Book excerpt: "The Lazy Man's Guide to Grappling" is a hilarious look at what some grapplers do to cope in the hard charging grappling environment. It exposes the truth about grapplers and grappling that is never discussed but everyone thinks about. We are all guilty of some of the Lazy Man's practices to varying degrees. This book exposes: The Lazy Man's Takedowns The Truth about Warmups Magic Funk Taps Credit Vision Injured Grapplers' Psyche Out Methods Superhero Taps Blue Belt Heaven Grappling Dummy and Heavy Bag Secrets and so much more. From the author: This is not a how to book. So there won't be any pictures demonstrating techniques. If there were I would lose all credibility. It is more of an approach towards grappling; my overarching philosophy. I will not be sharing my life story and detailing all of my wins at NAGA or Grapplers Quest or how I trained five hours a day for six years to get where I am now. I am just a man who loves grappling but not all of the extras that are attached to it. If I could get up in the morning and just learn a technique and grapple for about 20 minutes then life would be golden. I am like BJ Penn who popularized the term, "Just Scrap." I feel the same way. Just Grapple!
