Product Description

Ground fighting is taking the martial arts world by storm, but how do you get to the ground safely and end in a prone position? What are the dangers of throwing and taking an opponent over? In this book on throwing and take-down techniques of Sambo, the author teaches how to control vertical grappling and destroy an assailant with a demolishing throw. Including the original "blow before throw" techniques banned from sport grappling at the beginning of the century.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, As Far As It Goes..., 18 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This book provides an introduction to the basic throws and takedowns of freestyle wrestling (cross-buttock, double-leg pickup etc.).

The moves are presented clearly, and anyone interested in learning more about the techniques of this sport, or interested in incorporating a few new moves into their repertoire, would be well served getting this book.

An experienced grappler will probably know most of this stuff, however, so it is really for beginners.
