How to Practice Grappling by Yourself

!±8± How to Practice Grappling by Yourself

Before I begin, if you don't know me I have been on a wrestling mat or a judo tatami (mat) since 1975. I won my first National Championship at the age of 12 and I won my last won last year at the age of 39. I also just got inducted into my High School Hall of Fame for Wrestling and Football. I am no stranger to the art of grappling and the like. I will continue by saying that at least 4 times a week I am still on the mat.

My answer is simple, you can't practice grappling alone. You also can't practice boxing, wrestling, judo, bjj, mma, basketball, football, soccer (sorry, I'm a Yankee) or any other sport are martial art by yourself. You can practice specific skills without a partner but when it comes to developing good skills in martial arts and sports you need a partner.

So how do you practice grappling for the street? You don't "grapple" in the street, YOU FIGHT ON THE GROUND! There is no maneuvering for position, trying to find an opening- it is a systematic method of dismantling your enemy- and grappling has nothing to do with it.

Self Defense IS NOT A MARTIAL ART or SPORT. Self Defense is more like firearms training than sport training. DO NOT MISTAKE one for the other.

You cannot practice these methods full go on a training partner. To properly train, develop power and confidence you need to go all out when you practice. The techniques needed to survive an all out street fight are too vicious and brutal to do on a training partner.

When you train you train habits. When you practice with a partner you develop the habit of holding back. When we train we never strike air, we hit something, gouge something, stomp something and always do it with a sense or urgency.

Want proof, why don't you see for yourself? In Module 3 Ground Fighting For Keeps you learn how to Fight and Win (Survive) on the ground. You learn step by step what you need to know and how to do it. Take the test drive, get it look at it and then call me a liar, send it back and you won't be charged another dime. I can't make it any simpler than that and you can only do so much in an article.

Do You Need a Ground Sleeve With Your Basketball System?

!±8± Do You Need a Ground Sleeve With Your Basketball System?

Basketball Goals Ground Sleeve

A common product that is either packaged with an in ground basketball hoop or up sold with an in ground basketball hoop is a ground sleeve. Sleeves are generally made of steel and are the main component that is cemented into the ground. With Spalding basketball goals, most systems come with a sleeve; whereas Lifetime basketball goals typically sell the ground sleeve separately. What are reasons why you would want or need a ground sleeve?

Do you foresee yourself moving during the ownership of the basketball hoop?

One major reason customers choose is they plan on moving in the short term and do not want to worry about purchasing a new system at their new address. A ground goal pole sleeve allows you to do this because only the sleeve will be lost to the cement. Please note that once a basketball pole is cemented in, the pole is almost certain to not be removable without damaging the pole. So, a ground pole sleeve provides a great option to save some money if you plan on moving during your ownership of the basketball hoop. All you would need to do is order a new ground sleeve at your new address.

Do you need to take down the basketball goal from time to time?

In some cases, the basketball goals cannot stay up all year long due to adverse weather conditions, building codes, or multiple uses for the same area. A ground sleeve allows you to easily remove the system from the ground in any of these cases. Ground pole sleeves provide a great deal of flexibility for how and when you set up and take down the your basketball system. Some customers have a shared area in which the basketball system and some other sport shares the same area. In this case, a basketball ground pole sleeve can help a customer to more easily switch between users.
