I recently received a copy of Tim Sleds new video “ Leg Drag
Workshop.” I want to say that I don’t set
out to intentionally make my blog a dvd review site but when important DVD’s come
along I feel I need to pass on info about a quality set so that others can have
the opportunity to take advantage of ground breaking material. I get many videos from numerous people all
the time and much of the time I don’t feel the need to give a breakdown because
it’s typically run of the mill material.
Tim’s new video,
however is an amazing compilation on the subject of leg drags and passing. Many of you know me as a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practioner
with a focus on the self-defense aspect of Jiu-Jitsu.
At first glance many people who think of the
Leg Drag as a position will think it simply another aspect of tournament
Jiu-Jitsu. I disagree. I think it has applications for
traditionalist as well as tournament players.
This video has applications for all Jiu-Jitsu players and besides the
leg drag is getting to be more popular and every student must learn to deal
with it lest they have it done on them at a tournament or when a visiting
student starts to put this move on them.
Tim Sledd is a black belt under the great Andre Galvao and he
learned these moves directly from him.
Tim spends time breaking down the leg drag position from numerous
traditional positions that give students another avenue to help pass the
guard. We all know that guard passing
can be difficult at best and at worst impossible from a good guard player. Tim’s video is easy to understand and follow
and I have been using the material I have learned during rolling sessions with
students at my school with great success.
I would highly urge you to buy a copy of Tim’s video because
it’s an important position and because there isn’t a lot of material out there
on this position. If you decide that you
don’t want to, it’s ok. I would rather
keep this info to myself.
