Silat for the Street


Book Description

Renowned silat instructor Burton Richardson, who has cross-trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kali, jeet kune do and muay Thai, reveals what his knowledge of those systems and MMA helped him identify as the best silat tactics and techniques for modern self-defense. His Silat for the Street breaks down fights into various sections to make them more readily understandable. They include the following: * Footwork -- These movement patterns will give you the advantage when you need to attack an opponent. * Entries -- They will enable you to safely and dynamically enter into close quarters, where you can fire your weapons or execute a takedown. * Clinch positions -- These inside control positions will permit you to trap your opponent's arms, neck or body while minimizing your chance of being hit. * Takedowns -- These moves offer a variety of methods for getting an opponent on the ground, all of which are explained in detail. * Ground fighting -- This part of silat enables you to quickly dispatch an opponent if you end up on the ground. * Sarong tactics -- This section demonstrates how you can use a towel or jacket as a makeshift weapon of self-defense.




Choke 'em Out


Book Description

Why learn chokes? A martial artist or street fighter who believes that he can survive solely on powerful punches and kicks may be in for a rude awakening when the fight ends up in a clinch on the concrete--where knockout power is tougher to generate--or the attacker turns out to be high as a kite, crazed and immune even to the pain of broken bones. Simply put, when striking isn't working, you need to be able to go to the one sure fight ender: the choke. Author Burton Richardson's broad experience in the martial arts includes instructor's credentials in Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Filipino kali (under Guro Dan Inosanto) and Kali Ilustrisimo, as well as a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In this incredibly detailed volume filled with hundreds of step-by-step photos, he gives you the best techniques he knows for ending fights quickly by demonstrating a wide variety of quick and effective chokes. When you need to knock the fight out of someone fast, these chokes will become your go-to moves.




Lee's Street Jiu Jitsu Training Techniques Vol.1 "The Essential Defense Guide to Use in a Street Fight"


Book Description

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an art form by the Gracie Brothers, designed to help ordinary people learn how to protect themselves in a fight on the ground. There is much interest in this because many fights that start on the feet usually end up on the ground. In contrast, I have designed a program called "Lee's Street Jiu Jitsu" in order to help others learn how to defend themselves in a street fight whether he or she have Martial Arts experience or none. Most of all, readers will find many of the examples helpful and useful in their daily lives whether the fight is on the ground or standing up. This book will be the perfect guide to help readers understand the various scenarios associated with dealing with dangerous people and unexpected attacks. It will teach the reader how to manage their fears, anxiety, mindset, self-control and develop self- confidence and awareness skills while being involved in an physical altercation. Also, it will dispel some of the rumors about Martial Artist Black Belt vs. Street Fighter situations. More importantly, this book will provide a lecture, training examples and demonstrations to help prepare anyone who finds themselves involved in a street fight. It is always better to be prepared than to wait until something bad happens. We live in a dangerous world were assaults seem to occur all too frequently in schools, aggressive driving situations on the road and during simple petty arguments or disagreements. In today's society more and more people or resolving their disagreements with fists as oppose to talking things out exhibiting bad behavior. In my experience I have seen too many examples of this conduct and this is why it was necessary to create this program to empower readers who may not have the time to join a Martial Arts gym or do any self-defense training regularly. Truth is, if you are able to master just a few of these techniques and apply them well, you will find them to be very useful and perhaps use them whenever danger arise.

Book Description

When you see the power and effectiveness of the TJJ you will be amazed and a interesting thing might happen. You will ask yourself ‘how come I never learned this stuff before’ and that quickly will become ‘wait, I already know that technique’ and evolve into ‘I already know that, in fact I probably always did’ and finally ‘I thought of that first’. Well you didn’t know it, your didn’t think of it first and you never learned it until I just taught you. But in only a few months after reading this book and watching the video the word will indeed start to spread across the globe and millions of BJJ and Martial Arts Students will indeed think they already knew it and forget who ‘invented’ it all. I do ask that you try to remember that the greatest ideas and inventions are always the ‘simplest and most effective’ and when people see them, they always say ‘why didn’t’ someone think of that before’, and that is what is going to happen with TJJ. It is so effective, easy to learn and easy to teach, everyone will think they actually knew it before or thought of it themselves and many of you will in fact develop new and even better techniques. All I ask is that somewhere in the back of your mind you file the thought. Grandmaster Ted Gambordella developed TJJ…T-Shirt Jiu Jitsu and tell your students. And when you see the Gamboria…the most effective control technique in TJJ please call it the Gamboria…not something else. Thank You for learning TJJ from its originator. Grandmaster Ted Gambordella
