Since 1991 we've been developing and refining our self defense program to include the very best counters to those grab attacks that commonly occur, but are NOT commonly taught defenses for. We've invited our students - men, women, boys, girls, parents - to tell us how they've been grabbed or attacked in real life. If we couldn't give them a satisfactory answer on the spot, we kept looking until we could. Over the years, we've attended and hosted countless seminars and classes by a wide variety of instructors and stylists - grapplers, strikers, pressure point practitioners, CQB experts, police and military defensive tactics instructors, bouncers, adrenaline stress specialists, - anyone we thought could give us another "piece to the puzzle". We've added and substituted material to our curriculum as we've continued to find better, simpler, and more effective solutions. As a result, we are presenting in this program what we're now teaching every day in class.
These techniques will give you effective defenses against such attacks as
- Full Nelson
- Rear Hammerlock
- Double Rear Hammerlock
- Front Headlock
- Front One and Two Hand Chokes
- Rear Chokes
- Lapel Grabs
- Held against a wall
- Ground defense
and much more. Well over thirty different techniques in all, plus teaching tips, how to use distraction and surprise to your advantage, tips on how to make even common defensive tactics more effective, and much more.
The material presented in our "Up For Grabs" protection is suitable for a variety of age groups, and the program will indicate who we feel the techniques are most appropriate for and who we teach them to at Goshin. There's even quite a few techniques here that you can offer to your three to five year olds. How can this be? Because, again, the techniques themselves are based on SIMPLE body mechanics. The degree of violence in the initial distraction and the followups are the biggest difference between teaching this material to adults and children. So, if you've been looking for material to add substance to your "Tiger, Ninja, Dragon", or whatever you call your program for youngest students, as well as your other programs, you'll find some useful material here.
This is also a GREAT source of material for your Black Belt Club classes or special seminars to generate extra income.
Now, this is NOT broadcast quality video! Like our other videos, it's camcorder shot, in our school, but it's well lit, easy to hear, and CHOCK FULL of useful, practical information. No endless slo-mo repetitions of techniques, and right at an hour actual running time. We feel that the substance of the content is much more important than production "bells and whistles".
And the program includes a fully illustrated 30 page training manual, with over 120 photographs, and detailed explanations of each technique, so that you will fully understand the material when you teach it.
But don't take our word for it - Here's what some other noted instructors have to say about "Up For Grabs!":
"I have just finished watching the instructional video "Up For Grabs" produced & introduced by Goshin Karate's Mike & Cathy Anderson, & I'd like to say that I thoroughly recommend it. The content is clearly shown, with the techniques demonstrated by young Goshin students who show just how effectively the techniques work. The defensive methods themselves are simple and easy to learn from the tape, and I endorse it. - Vince Morris 7th Dan Kissaki-Kai Karate-Do, Nottingham England
" This video is a must for any instructor whether you specialize in self defense or not. You will learn powerful techniques, in detail, and how to teach them safely." - Clyde Stanley. 7th degree black belt, member Isshinryu Hall of Fame
"Goshin's Up For Grabs Self Defense video is an excellent source for the student and also for the sports oriented martial arts school realizing they need to add realistic self defense skills to their curriculum." - Gary Pieratt - American Street Karate - Castroville, TX
"Great tape Mike! Students love special techniques for street situations. Your video "Up for Grabs"
gives old instructors a reminder of all the great techniques we may have forgotten or gotten away from. For younger instructors I am sure there are a lot of things they may not have seen before and can use in their classes. In any event it has inspired me to do a theme based week of classes in my school on How to get out of ........ and What to do if someone grabs you like this...... " - Chris J. Pollman, Chris Pollman Karate Academy, Weatherford, OK
"There is a lot of info on the tape......I think that the presentation is definitely slanted to the kids perspective, even though you state ( and I agree) that all techniques could be used for adults..... Once again, well done." - Steve Montgomery, Southern New Jersey Kissaki-Kai Karate-Do, Marlton, NJ 08053
So don't wait - GRAB this great program and improve your defensive tactics right away. Includes a sixty minute video and a 30 page fully illustrated training manual.
