Written Summary:

This video focuses on what should, in the reviewers opinion , be the basis of grappling training, i.e. the ability to escape from inferior positions and/or submission techniques that are about to be applied. A list of contents of this video is as follows :

1. Defence against straight arm-bar
2. Escape from arm-bar attempt from rear-mounted position
3. Escape from triangle choke
4. Escape from rear gi choke
5. Escape from the mount
6. Defence against the guillotine
7. Defence against the ankle-lock
8. Escape from knee-bar
9. Defence against the heel-hook

Inevitably, I liked some of these techniques better than others. As stated in the previous two reviews, I believe, and yes, it is only my opinion , that Mr. Taktarov, in spite of his obvious ability and experience , operates from a slightly different conceptual basis than the one my grappling instructors emphasised . Once again, I feel that Mr. Taktarov works via his specific, individual technique against his opponent's specific , individual technique. I was taught to work via positions , rather than techniques. What this means in practice is that Mr. Taktarov will, for example , create some space so as to escape and then will execute a counter- technique without first obtaining a superior position. I feel that this would work against an inferior opponent but not against one of equal or even slightly superior abilities. I was taught that the first priority would be to work oneself into a superior position and to then only counterattack. Again, this does not make this tape useless or inferior , it just means that , in the reviewers opinion it would not be one of the top ten "must buy" grappling instructional tapes.
