Erik Paulson’s Neckbreaker – 2 DVD Set
In this deluxe 2-DVD set, Shooto champion and legendary MMA trainer Erik Paulson focuses upon one of the most devastating submissions known to man; Neck Cranks.
Erik displays a dizzying array of cranks, face locks, chokes, neck crank set-ups, and submissions that can be set-up by neck cranks (e.g., arm bars) from the ground and standing. He included variations for competition but for the street as well.
As Erik says, “these techniques aren’t nice” and are designed to make even the toughest opponents concede.
Bonus material includes in-depth stretching and a large portion of Erik’s personal “Ultimate Killer Neck Routine”. Also, see Erik neck crank his way through five live opponents back-to-back during an actual training session at CSW headquarters in Fullerton, California!

The “Write” Way to Train

As a martial athlete I think it is very important for us to be able to write down and actually see what we are doing to and putting in our body. It is always a good idea to get a journal or book of some sort to record our daily thoughts and what we are doing on a daily basis, especially when we are preparing for a fight or trying to achieve any goal of making ourselves better. I have always found this very useful and I recommend it for everyone. Below are some of the things that I write down in my personal journal.
