Gracie Combatives - Lesson 1 - Slice 3 (3-6)

The Fastest Way to Street Readiness. Guaranteed - - - In this video clip, you are viewing 1 of 6 sample clips from Lesson 1 of the 36-lesson Gracie Combatives program. Our objective in making it available on YouTube is to give you an idea of the level of detail you can expect each lesson and to introduce you to the ground-breaking linear learning format that makes the Gracie Combatives DVD collection the most highly regarded martial arts instructional DVD series of all time.


Here is some more information about the Gracie Combatives course:

The Course
Although Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of more than 600 techniques, studies of the fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family show that 36 techniques have been used more often, and with greater success, than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, Gracie Combatives is the only course that is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. Until recently, this course was taught exclusively at a small network of Gracie Academy certified training centers, but now, the complete Gracie Combatives course is available on DVD and can be learned from the comfort of your own home!

The Objective
What makes the Gracie Combatives collection so unique is that it is the only instructional DVD series ever produced with the sole objective of taking the viewer - regardless of their age, gender or athletic ability - from no knowledge to street ready without ever stepping foot into a school of martial arts. Every other instructional video series to date was designed to give viewers additional techniques and tips to complement the training they were receiving at an actual school of martial arts, whereas the entire Gracie Combatives series was produced under the assumption that the viewer had absolutely no previous experience.

Dynamic Reflex Development
What separates Gracie Combatives from other martial arts instructional DVDs is a revolutionary teaching system called Dynamic Reflex Development™. Although there are thousands of martial arts instructional DVDs in existence that show the viewers how to do various techniques, up until now, there has never been an instructional series that gives the viewers the exact system they must follow to develop their reflexes in the execution of all the techniques in combination with one another. In each Gracie Combatives lesson, the new technique is first presented to you in the form of simplified drills, or Technical Slices™. Then, it is combined with one other technique in a Reflex Development Drill™. Finally, at the end of each lesson, you will learn how to execute the newly learned technique in the context of a real fight by combining it with several other techniques in a Fight Simulation Drill™.

I like the simplicity of the way they teach.

[MrBooboothebear]

You can remember 26 letters, and with them you form hundreds of words (actually, thousands). When you memorize 50-60 basic motions, takedowns, locks, and other moves, you can recombine them in different variations and different angles to form hundreds of more advanced techniques. You don't have to remember 600. You just need to learn the basics, and then as you train you become more aware of different ways to apply them in different situations - a larger "vocabulary" of martial arts.

Gifted teachers in addition to their skill set.

The best feeling in the world. Is when you have to defend yourself and you are trained.

[Affenkkoenig]

You have great videos thanks a lot guys!!

Very very helpful in the six dislikes to this I've no idea what martial arts is about their only disliking it because they have no idea what martial arts is about and they are too scared to try and I'm standing up and saying it because that is total disrespect is liking something you won't even give a chance

[shamonyu]

This helped a lot. I was trying to sweep by bumping and not reaching enough.

[SuperEnergyAddict]

Train. Train. Train. Train. Train... And it becomes muscle memory. Same thing with Karate. It's not so much the techniques- it's understanding how you can piece them together like a puzzle in a fight. I can do A to line up B, which would give me C. Etc.

[dapras]

wow some schools don't teach this....

[luciusx]

Is there a defense to the leg extension hook escape? If so, how do you defeat the hook escape to complete the reversal?

[JeremyUSA]

Amazing stuff. This will probably save somebody from getting their butts kicked on the street.

[ElLotdog]

How do you prevent getting reversed when you go for the Ezekiel choke?

[ericinghammontevista]

According to your website, there are over 600 techniques in GJJ. How on earth do you guys actually remember 600 techniques??

[luciusx]

Is there a defense to the hook escape by the mounter? If so, how do you counter the counter to the hook escape to complete the mount reversal?
