In part two of the DVD Emily gives you a detailed what-to-do breakdown of stand-up and ground-based gripfighting.

Here Emily shares her favorite guard positions that work well against bigger people, and breaks them down so you’ll be able to keep good position and successfully defend guard passing attempts. Plus she teaches you which sweeps work against ALL sizes of opponents, not just ones your own size. In part two Emily takes you through her bread and butter guard passes that she uses again and again when facing larger opponents. Don’t let guard passing turn into a battle of strength; use speed, leverage and timing instead! Emily teaches you the secrets of ‘ganging up’ on your opponent by using your whole body to dominate ONE of his limbs. Once you isolate a limb you can then use it to get past their guard and into a good position where you can dominate the rest of the fight. In part three of this DVD, Emily explores the seldom-taught area of transitional escapes, sharing with you the strategies and mindset that completely changed her own approach to pin escapes. She also shows you the exact techniques you need to know in order to keep things moving, and to not end up completely flattened and helplessly pinned underneath your opponent.

The goal of this system is to strengthen, stabilize and protect the joints and muscles that are most susceptible to injury. Roy was Emily’s first conditioning coach, as well as the person who initially introduced her to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Emily, and many other martial arts athletes, recognize how important it is to create a strong foundation with this sort of conditioning, for the simple reason that it allows them to train harder in class and walk around without feeling crippled all the time!
