The Rebirth of the Hall of Fame Award Winning Martial Art
Conditioning Program designed by Distinguished Master of Sport,
former USA National Sambo Team Coach and Champion, Scott
Sonnon.Martial artists all admire natural grace of masterful
grapplers from Jiujitsu, Judo, Sambo and Wrestling. To an extent,
much of that ferocious fluidity is learned. For movement masters
like Scott Sonnon, learning didn t come easily. Persistent, he
traveled the world to find and formulate the right methods to
match up with the learning requirements of the non-gifted. His
unique approach stands on the broad shoulders of his Olympic and
national coaching and international success on the mat. Coach
Sonnon designed these biomechanical exercises as a powerful form
of specific physical preparedness which: - creates a safety valve
for when movements deviate from the expected, like they always do
in the chaos of and fighting, so that when you or your nent
move too far, too fast, too hard, you can safely recover and stay
on target. - three-dimensionally strengthens connective tissue
(the outer bag of your fascia and the muscle it contains, and the
inner bag forming the joint s and holding in the precious
synovial fluid, ground substance, and of course your cartilage
and s.) - provide a movement model for your nervous system to
improve your technique without a partner, like a form of shadow
grappling - probably the most under-estimated form of practice in
modern day gyms. If you practice these as a warm-up, before your
practicing the technique with a partner, of if as your form of
off-season conditioning, you ll skyrocket your performance on the
mat. Practice consistently for 60 days and you will completely
rewire your nervous system.
Review
------
The principles presented regarding the bio-mechanics of
transitional movement would be of interest to all SERIOUS
practitioners of sport grappling REGARDLESS of style. I was very
impressed with the a of thought which must have went into
producing such a tape. There is no question in my mind that the
tape addresses an issue in sport grappling which has never been
addressed previously in the U.S. --Professor Frank E. Sanchez,

The Biomechanical exercises in the Grappler's Toolbox are crucial
to the success of any athlete wishing for better mobility,
increased power in their motions, and a higher success in their
already learned base of techniques. Biomechanical Exercises are
methods of training that require no equipment but yourself and
can be done anywhere, yet have the capability to improve your
game whatever it may be, by teaching your body to move smoother,
cleaner, more efficiently, which could also lead to an increase
of speed, power and endurance, as well as improved balance.

I used Scott's respiratory methods and his personal coaching to
win my division as a purple belt at the 2002 Pan Ams. I focused
on upper, middle and lower breathing drills...standing, on all
fours, and on my back in guard position. The drills RADICALLY
improved my recovery during my matches and in between matches. I
never felt better, with more wind than when I did Scott's drills.
You must do the work, though. They aren't magic. You must be
disciplined and do them every day! It took me about 2 weeks to
notice a difference in my rolling and about a month to really
feel like something had changed in my fundamental way I breathed
when I rolled under pressure. Hope this helps in some way. Note
that I am not affiliated with Scott in way...not a student or
coach in his system. I HAVE however used his methods and guidance
since the earliest days of this forum and he has had a tremendous
impact in my S/C and sports psychology components to my training.
