Submission Master

This is the DVD source (two DVDs) of Yoshiaki Fujiwara’s “Submission Master” instructional video series.
Below is a full description.
This set is long out of print and often referred to as “The Holy Grail of Submission Grappling”.
It has been brought back in its entirety in the original Japanese language (don’t worry there are plenty of diagrams used so even the simplest of minds could follow it!).
Just to give you an idea of Fujiwara’s influence and pedigree:Fujiwara’s training partners:- Nobuhiko Takada (Takada Dojo founder and PRIDE booker)- Akira Maeda (Fighting Network RINGS founder)- Satoru Sayama (SHOOTO founder)- Antonio Inoki (the professional wrestler famous for the mixed match with Muhammad Ali)Some of Fujiwara’s better known students:- Ken Shamrock (If you don’t know who he is, you probably shouldn’t be reading this)- Masakatsu Funaki (he taught the legendary Frank Shamrock)- Minoru Suzuki- Yoshiki Takahashi- Takaku Fuke- Ryushi Yanagisawa (all founding members of Hybrid Wrestling PANCRASE)- Yuki Ishikawa- Katsumi Usuda- Alexander “Diet Butcher” Otsuka (all former PRIDE competitors)- Bart Valeand many others!

There are not many DVD courses out there with the SHEER amount of information you will find in the Sub-Mission Master DVD course by Prof.Fujiwara.
This is truly a BARGAIN for this exceptional and NEARLY LOST information, especially when you look at the quality of the other material entering the market these days! Get it, before your training partners do.
