Instructor James Kodzis, with an extensive background in law enforcement and martial arts, teaches highly effective grappling and striking techniques to blend the essential skills needed to become effective in the complete art of Jujitsu. He begins with the fundamentals from learning the correct stance, movement, and falling, and then quickly moves into more complicated techniques such as striking with fists, elbows, knees, and feet. He first teaches the ability of stand up fighting, and then moves on to grappling. At that point you will learn about takedowns, proper defense, sweeps, using the "sprawl", transitioning from stand up to ground and vice versa, escapes, defense on the ground, as well as several other important skills.

Every technique taught by Mr. Kodzis is shown from several angles, and from both the offensive and defense side, leaving no rock unturned. His simple and direct instruction makes it easy to learn while practicing along with a partner. This instruction is meant to benefit students, instructors, law enforcement officers, security personnel, and anyone else willing to take the time to learn. With this dvd you will learn to defend against mount, side and back mount, north/south, open, closed, and side attack, total holddown, and knee on stomach. 80 minute running time DVD.
