Floor Bag Workout (DVD) $39.95

Floor Bag Workout:The Ultimate Solo Training for Grapplers and Groundfighters with Mark Hatmaker

There’s no real substitute for partner training in groundfighting, but there is a way to train full speed, full power and no-holds-barred, even without a partner.

The secret is Mark Hatmaker’s revolutionary floor bag workout. Using an ordinary heavy bag (not a grappling dummy that costs four times as much), Hatmaker teaches you how to realistically simulate the weight and resistance of a real opponent as you practice dozens of groundfighting moves. He starts with a variety of lifting exercises that will develop the grip and specific strength you need to dynamically maneuver an opponent at close range. He then teaches you how to tune your grappling skills on the bag, using it to drill critical skills like the cross-body position, head-and-arm position, lateral press and top body scissors, as well as specific submission techniques and combinations. Finally, Hatmaker shows you how to use the heavy bag to practice techniques that are too brutal and dangerous to drill with a live partner, including punishing power throws and slams, chokes, stomps and hamburger rides as well as high-speed drills that combine all these skills into a nonstop, heart-pumping workout. For information purposes only. Color, approx. 85 min. $39.95

Iaido Sword $49.95

Iaido Sword: Kamimoto-Ha Techniques of Muso Shinden Ryu by Richard W. Babin, BS, M.D.

Iaido is the classical Japanese discipline of drawing and cutting with the long sword in defense of an unanticipated attack, throwing off the blood and returning the sword to its sheath. It is the direct inheritor of techniques perfected by centuries of samurai whose life and honor depended upon their spirit and prowess. Author Richard W. Babin brings together all the practical and theoretical information needed to pursue a formal study of the classical Japanese martial art of iaido. You will learn how to choose a sword, how to cut with it, how to take care of it, how to assume the clothing and how to enter a dojo. He covers not only the basic moves and positions, but the entire curriculum of forms of the muso shinden ryu of iaido. Equally important, he puts the art in its historic and social perspective, helping to clarify for the reader the spiritual pathway that the way of the sword offers. If you want to learn iaido, this is your textbook. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, illus., 272 pp. $49.95
