Product Review

A well-organized, straightforward DVD on major grappling attacks and counters, all from the standing position. Topics covered include: full nelsons; tackles; wrist grabs; bear hugs; head locks; chokes and more dangerous attacks. Well versed on the ground, Cartmell-who has won a number of Jujitsu competitions-gives only the most practical and down-to-earth instruction. A good, solid teacher with intimate knowledge of the principles involved, he discusses making a base, initial response, proper leverage and application of angles. A thorough and professional presentation.
