ESP conducts numerous seminars, boot camps, and private intensives throughout the year.

Many of these seminars are "Closed Seminars" for law enforcement and/or businesses or "Low Profile" sessions for schools/clubs with political ties to protect.  We respect our seminar hosts' privacy and keep these sessions confidential.

All open seminars and boot camps are listed as the dates solidify.

We'll be in Radford, VA June 27th  and 28th at the Karate College.  We will be presenting our typical schedule of three completely different sessions, as well as a Certification Course.  To register or for more information see the AIKIA website.  Of course, our hang-around offer always holds.

We'll be at Anthony Tamburrino's place in Warrington, PA for a 2-day Boot Camp on September 20 & 21.  To register or for more information contact Tony at (215) 343-3378 or X-trememma@comcast.net or warringtonjiu-jitsu.com

A preview of our commercially released products for this year:

“In my line of work I have had the opportunity to train with some of the best CQC and DT guys out there.  Mark and the members of ESP are by far in that league.  The level of knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm for what they teach is by far unsurpassed by anyone.  You could not ask for a better instruction.”

--J. Mayer, Special Agent; U.S. Government

We have many more products coming up in the next year,  including:

THE JUNGLE GYMNASIUM-These are the wildest sets of eccentric exercises you've ever seen.  These challenges will build agility, balance, strength, muscular endurance, blow the lungs apart, as well as make a spectacle of yourself as you bounce around the gym in a manner befitting our primate cousins.

GLADIATOR CONDITIONING: THE PROGRAM-This manual presents all the exercises, all the variations, and all the programs for your one-stop specific-synergistic conditioning goals.

SAVAGE STRIKES VOLUME 2: TRIGGERS & CHAINS-This manual will show you how to link, loop, and build counter-striking drills for NHB and the street.

GROUNDED: EXPANDED EDITION-Covers the situation where you are caught on the ground but your opponent is on his feet. We run through the three ranges of defense, strikes from the ground, and submissions from the ground, then we flip the equation and cover how to enter on the grounded opponent.

 STREET BOXING & SURVIVAL WRESTLING-Our zero-sport version of Western martial arts applied to numerous standard static and fluid street offensives. This is all tendon ripping, bone-snapping material.

WARDROBE WORK-Chokes, cranks, and snaps using your opponent’s street clothes as handles.

GLADIATOR: FULLY LOADED--Here we demonstrate the sport specific weight lifting exercises to push your combat power through the roof. Trust me, these are not your standard lifts. The only items of equipment needed are weight plates, a barbell, and two dumbbells. No bench, no nothing.

GLADIATOR LEGION: COMBAT PARTNER CONDITIONING EXERCISES-Just like it sounds. We take the specificity and synergy principles and provide dozens and dozens of combat specific strength and endurance exercises in which the only equipment needed is yourself and a training partner.

THE OUTER LIMITS: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SENSORY DRILLS FOR ULTIMATE STREET SKILLS-Dozens of unique drills designed to mimic the high-stress and/or disoriented nature of the street scenario. Drills included: Endangered Species, Off-Road, The Violent Minority, Scrum and many more.

TO THE WALL-The street and cage matches both provide a unique factor; the use of the vertical surface in the combat environment. Most combat arts focus only on the horizontal or the ground. Here, we run the complete offensive and defensive arsenals for finishing the man once he’s on the wall and perhaps more importantly what to do when your back is to the wall.

THE SUBMISSION ENCYCLOPEDIA: VOLUME 2-We pitch more of our trademark submission chains featuring dozens of new hooks for salivating mat fans.

TRIGGER BOXING: BUILDING THE INSTINCTIVE COUNTER-PUNCHER-We run all of the natural follow-ups to the entire boxing vocabulary and present them in drills that will immediately move you to utilization.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TAKEDOWNS-Everything you need to know about dropping your man to the mat.

BELOW THE BELT: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LOW KICKING AND KNEE STRIKES-There's more to low kicking that the shin kick. Here we will run dozens of drills and concepts such as rapid fire barks, hi-los, chops, and pop integration.

THE SQUAT GRINDER-Our 30 minute squat challenge that synergistically combines 12 types of jump squats with 16(!) types of squats for the ultimate anaerobic workout--nobody likes doing the Squat Grinder, but everyone loves what it does for them.

THE ESP PULL-UP BIBLE- This contains routines, tips, and schedules for 42(!) varieties of pull-ups.

THE ESP PUSH-UP BIBLE- This will do for your pushing group what our PULL-UP BIBLE does for the pulling group.  Here we will cover over 100(!) varieties of push-ups.

ESP MIND SETTING/PREDATOR PROFILES-This unique audio/workbook package will provide all the information on real world violent assault survival, crime prevention, the predator/prey relationship, mind setting, and scenario specific strategies for numerous violent encounters.  Also, included, more that 75 Predator Profiles to provide you with a better understanding of the nature of the beasts we may face.

ESP ROUGH RIDER/LEG RIDES A-Z- In this instructional video we will show you the how's, when's, and why's in great detail of this little understood aspect of wrestling.  Leg rides covered include: Hooks In, Cockle-Burr, Saturday Night Ride, Highball Ride, Splitters, Groin Rides, Navy Rides, Hook Rides, Figure-Four Rides, Scissors Rides, Cross Scissors Rides, Banana Splits, Low Cal Banana Splits, and more.  You will learn the rides as well as drills for placing them and natural follow-up submissions.

THE ESP KNIFE FIGHTING ENCYCLOPEDIA- This 4 Volume video set will provide you with ALL aspects of Western Pragmatic blade work.  Among the subjects covered are: grips, movement, covers, slices, thrusts, attack patterns, defense patterns, unarmed VS. armed, forced scenarios, static defense, fluid defense, grounded blade work, ground zero blade work, and more.

THE MEGA-GLADIATOR- You better be hitting the Gladiator hard because it's follow-up is tough with a capital "T".

STREET GRAPPLING- Real world grappling (stand-up/ground/and wall-work) in detail.  There is no sport work  to be found here.  Just pure OD survival tricks from the world of All-In wrestling and Boom-battle.

THE ESP DEFENSIVE SHELL- Here we expand our boxing base and run you thru all of the defenses and drills for picking off kicks, elbows, knees, head-butts, and eccentric punches.

“This was my second time in training with the ESP instructors, and it’s getting better each time. Unlike many other training courses, you can walk out of one of these seminars and put the techniques to work right away. I feel that if you ever get a chance to attend one of the seminars, you owe it to yourself and loved ones to attend, and, with the reasonable fee, there is no excuse not to attend.”

--William T. Jeffers, Policeman

“The seminar that the ESP staff presented to us was one of the best I’ve ever attended. Our security crew immediately was able to apply the knowledge we attained from the ESP system. The techniques were simple, but extremely effective and have been used over and over again to ensure the safety of our crew and other patrons of our nightclub. I would highly recommend any security personnel take the time to work with the ESP staff. This is an investment that will prove its worth many times over in real-life situations.”

--Erik Bryant, Bouncer
