About The Throws and Takedowns of Greco-roman Wrestling

Ground fighting is taking the martial arts world by storm, but how do you get to the ground safely and end in a prone position? What are the dangers of throwing and taking an opponent over? In this book on throwing and take-down techniques of Greco Roman wrestlsing, the author teaches how to control vertical grappling and destroy an assailant with a demolishing throw. Including the original "blow before throw" techniques banned from sport grappling at the beginning of the century.

Convinced that there must be more to life than this, Geoff decided to become a martial arts instructor (now a 7th dan, black belt, polled as the number one self defence instructor in the world by Black Belt magazine USA) then followed this by living out his dream of becoming a professional writer. He is now the author of thirty-four books, five multi-award-winning films (two BAFTA nominated, one BAFTA winning), two stage plays and hundreds of articles that have been published in a variety of publications, including a monthly column in Men’s Fitness Magazine for two years and features and profiles in many broadsheet newspapers, including The Times. Geoff’s autobiography, Watch My Back, has been adapted into a major motion picture, Clubbed.His latest multi award winning film Romans 12;20, has qualified for the Oscar Long list 20010 for best film in the short category. more
