Part 3 of 3 - Forty Ground Getaway techniques. That’s right folks! We are diving deep into the topic of physical techniques that are useful when you are on the ground / laying down. Although we have mentioned a few techniques and tactics for floor fights in past episodes, we never really took the subject head-on. Now you will learn 40 techniques to survive and escape when horizontal / grounded. They are divided into 5 groupings. Damagers are numbers 1 through 11. Anti-strangle techniques are 12 through 16. 17 through 28 are Disengagements, and 29 through 35 are Takedowns. Finally, we talk about Shielding Ground techniques for numbers 36 through 40. This should represent a fairly comprehensive set of moves to use, although I’m sure someone could nit pick through and find a few more to add. Episode 097 has a lot of introductory and preface information about Ground Getaways in general. After all the setup talk, we only really get to talk about techniques 1 through 4. Episode 098 finishes the Damagers category, and takes us through all the Anti-strangle techniques. Episode 099 packs in the last 24 moves (techniques 17 through 40) and covers Disengagements, Takedowns, and Shielding. We apologize up front for some of the awkward explanations. It was very hard to verbal (audio only) describe some of the techniques, although I did my best. Sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words. Thanks for listening to the show, Christie and I really appreciate it!!!

Part 2 of 2 - Kelly Rudolph talks about FAST Defense. Kelly joins us again after attending a weekend long FAST Defense seminar. We had recommended she attend a FAST Defense class because she had never done so. After she got back from the seminar, she called us to express her reactions. Instead, I suggested that we record her reactions on a show or two. Needless to say, she loved the training. If you would like to find a FAST Defense class in your area, checkout http://www.fastdefense.com and if you want to learn more about Kelly Rudolph and Survive Self-Defense, please visit http://www.survivesd.com Please be sure and give us a review on the iTunes Store! Also, our 100th episode is approaching, so email us your comments. What were your favorite moments in the past 100 shows? What do you suggest we do in the future? We’ll make the 100th episode about the listeners!
