Tim Cartmell's latest DVD project is finally available; Ground Proofing. An excellent DVD I just watched covering all the basics of real world self defense ground survival for non-grapplers/ground fighters. The DVD is geard towards those who do not know any ground skills, nor train it. Basic falling; protection; basic escapes from certain positions (mount, side control, scarf hold etc.); and a ton of other info can be found on the DVD.
Tim has stated that it is his intention to produce something that anyone can learn from and take away basic skills in order to protect themselves when they get thrown to the ground, trip or fall, or however they may end on the ground in an actual fight. No fancy submissions here, just plain simple basics of survival. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD to any and folks who THINK they will NEVER get taken down and have to fight on the ground! I also recommend this DVD for coaches of all arts as an organized syllabus on how to teach ground fighting to non-grapplers that may come to their schools, but don't want to train BJJ/Sambo/Judo.
Here is a teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N-S37qLR6k
The DVD should be up on Tim's site within the week www.shenwu.com

Cheers, and enjoy

Excellent!

Hello Guys,

The Journal of Asian MArtial Arts Vol. 17 No. 3, 2008, has a review on Tim's Ground Proofing DVD. Here is small part.

"To sum up, GP is a versatile, well thougth out introduction to ground fighting. The visual and audio are of good quality, and I recommended it for many kinds of martial artists: non-grapplers expanding their breadth, experienced grapplers who seek a self-defense perspective, and grapplig teachers in search of drills. It is a good take on proven moves, and there is much to be learned from it."

Cheers

Thanks William.

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!!!

Is there any mention of the extraordinary Location Scouting?

My understanding is that LS is the most crucial task for any production. Imagine 'Jaws' being filmed in downtown New York or 'The Godfather' being filmed in the middle of Pigs Knuckle, North Carolina. Seriously, every great film shoot begins with a great location scout.
