STOP THINKING, START FIGHTING!
”Instinctive Groundfighting” is now available on Amazon.com
Martial Arts is not about learning techniques. It is about reacting adequately to unexpected combat situations without thinking. If you think, you are slower, your focus is too narrow and your movements lack creativity. European Champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Joris Merks explains in his book “Instinctive Groundfighting” how to train yourself to stop thinking and start fighting.
THE PHILOSOPHY
People tend to break down Martial Arts in series of techniques. Techniques are given names and sometimes even numbers! Breaking down Martial Arts in a series of techniques is a rational way to look at it. Therefore you introduce thinking in your combat style.
If you always train 100% dynamically, your body learns to merge instinctive reactions into fluent movements. No pre-programmed techniques, but techniques that are invented on the spot in the heat of the moment, with exactly the right form and timing, performed in your own unique way.
THE BOOK
Instinctive Groundfighting teaches you how to train for the essential qualities of movement in combat. A 100% Dynamic Training Method is presented, with a focus on Groundfighting in the context of Mixed Martial Arts. Groundfighting has proven itself to be highly effective in Cage Fighting Championships all over the world. Practicioners of all Martial Arts will profit from the universal learnings this book offers.
