The « firefighter » guard - BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU [DVD 295] 25.00 EUR Click to enlarge BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU The « firefighter » guard DVD 295 BJJ - Luta livre - Grappling Collection By Olivier MICHAILESCO Discover a unique collection dedicated to the Brazilian martial art. Each master and expert detail their specialty through a series of instructional DVDs, shot on a black ground and a black background for optimum visibility of all movements. This DVD covers advanced techniques. The "firefighter guard" is a made-up term (for this DVD) only to define a mixed position between the butterfly position, the half guard, a "De la riva" hooking the leg inside, and also for some, a "single leg" work. Often working in this position, it seemed fun to call it this way because working this position is akin to playing with fire. I propose a multi-directional work with different grips adapted to this huard, as well as some techniques when the opponent manages to pass your guard. In memory of my teacher and friend Master Christian Derval.

In the industrial wasteland just outside of Los Angeles, circa 2027,there's a covert war raging between the cyborgs and the humans. "86.5% is still human", insists superagent Alex (Jean-Claude Van Damme wannabe Olivier Gruner, complete with kick-boxing credentials and thick Euro-warble) but as the cyborg conspiracy builds around him he discovers that humanity is more than simply a matter of flesh and blood. Borrowing elements from Blade Runner, The Terminator, Escape from New York and The Road Warrior and looking ahead to digital "data couriers" of Johnny Mnemonic, director Albert Pyun turns the sci-fi spy story into an engine for a visceral thrill ride of sleekly designed action sequences driven by a dancing camera and a breakneck editing rhythm. It's a glorious triumph of style over substance, the vigorous pace leaving the story far behind and nimble set pieces belying a tiny budget with ambitious action choreography and impressive displays of property damage. Apart from a few clumsy special effects at the conclusion and the requisite collection of scene-chewing performances, Nemesis is a thoroughly entertaining piece of sci-fi trash, a classic example of cinematic energy overcoming the obstacles of plot. --Sean Axmaker

Discover a unique collection dedicated to the Brazilian martial art. Each master and expert detail their specialty through a series of instructional DVDs, shot on a black ground and a black background for optimum visibility of all movements. The guard in Jiu-jitsu is a key position. To develop one's attacks in this context, it is all about initiative. We will deal in this DVD how to settle one's game to be able to perform the techniques as accurately and efficiently as possible. Victory in a fight is over a succession of building details. The key to success lies in the ability of being aggressive from the start, and not give one's opponent the opportunity to develop their own strategies. This principle applies above as well as below. We will therefore have to detail some fundamental positions that we have developed through our experiences of competitors, which we hope is a guarantee of a Jiu-jitsu that is modern, scalable and fully oriented to success. Having discovered jiu-jitsu in 1996 during the visit of members of the Gracie family for the first time in Europe, we actually started to practice this sport in a club from 2001. After many hours of training, courses in Brazil and many competitions in France and internationally, in 2006 we decided to open our own academy: the Gokudo. Since this moment on, we've kept on teaching, communicating and living the passion of "the subtle art". Credits: The three OLIVIER brothers won many French cups in elite category (Spirit Challenge, Open de France, Hotblood, etc.).
