The Open Elbow From Ryan Hall

The Open Elbow From Ryan Hall

New from World Martial arts, Ryan Hall is back with another incredible Jiu-Jitsu series, The Open Elbow!

This powerful move is based on a simple, yet highly effective Jiu-Jitsu concept: the further you move your opponent’s elbows away from his body, the weaker his defenses will be. Understanding how to capitalize on this unique position will quickly increase your ability to get submissions and control and dominate your opponents.

Ryan Hall teaches all of the fundamental details needed to be successful and on Volume 1 he covers theory, structure and Open Elbow entries from all of the important positions of Jiu-Jitsu.

On Volumes 2 & 3, Ryan uses the Open Elbow to put a new spin on the Kimura the Omoplata, making these positions far more effective then you ever thought possible! The Open Elbow concept can be used from all positions, offensive or defense and is equally effective for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, NoGi grappling and MMA!

This 3 DVD set spans over 4.5 hours of instruction with 55 incredible Open Elbow techniques shown in the same methodical teaching style that has made Ryan Halls previous Jiu-Jitsu DVD sets world famous! This is another World Martial Arts exclusive!
