HOW TO USE THE NHB MANUALS

The manuals in this series are meant to be used in an interlocking/synergistic manner where the sum value of the manuals is greater than the individual parts.  What we are striving to do with each manual is to focus on a specific aspect of the twin sports of NHB/submission wrestling and give thoughtful consideration to the necessary ideas, tactics, and strategies pertinent to the facet of focus.  We are aware that this piecemeal approach may seem lacking if one only consumes one or two manuals at most, but we are confident that once three or more manuals have been studied the overall picture or method will begin to reveal itself.  Think of them as one very large book broken into separate bound chapters, and you've got the idea.

THE KICKING BIBLE

(192 pages) One of the most feared and useful weapons in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition is dissected and discussed in this fully-illustrated guide to both perfecting and defending against the low kick.  Many competitors view this technique as a single tool in their arsenal, limiting themselves when they could be taking this low-line method of attack and modifying it to fit far more kicking situations than those commonly used.  This volume demonstrates how to expand the low-kicking arsenal, showing how a simple alteration in leg targeting can strongly challenge an opponent's defense, and how to hone low-line kicking power and speed so that rapid-fire low-line kicking becomes a powerful advantage.  These techniques are prime for MMA competitors and anyone who wants to improve both their self-defense and competition skills with the best empirical information available.  Autographed copy -$14 (International orders must add $10 shipping via the Shipping Button at the top and/or bottom of this page.)

THE BOOK OF ESSENTIAL SUBMISSIONS

(176 pages) The 10th in our continuing series and the subject this time is less "how to" and more "what not to do." Less a "Hey, do this" guide and more a "why-or why not- do this." In short THE ESSENTIALS is a strategy guide that introduces fight metrics to the sport of MMA to allow us to make educated choices in offensive and defensive tools unclouded by assumption or style. We use a careful analysis of 640 elite level MMA matches (both cage & ring) to fuel the material within. Once we get the expository fight metrics under our belts, it's time to move on to the inescapable "how to" portion of the book where we present offense/defense in a strictly analyzed Hierarchy of Utility so that you know each and every technique introduced has proven itself in top-level competition and by what margin. It is just this sort of quantifiable approach that can lead to great qualitative strides.  Read an excerpt from THE ESSENTIALS.  Autographed copy -$14 (International orders must add $10 shipping via the Shipping Button at the top and/or bottom of this page.)
