Grappling For The Street (Volumes 1&2)
By Phil Norman
Simple, direct & brutally effective grappling designed for the street
You’ve got no quick escape if more than one attacker jumps in.
Hard concrete, curbs, or broken glass make every slam or fall a potential life-changing injury.
And here’s the reality most Martial Arts schools don’t tell you: sport grappling doesn’t prepare you for the chaos of the street. Rules, referees, and padded mats don’t exist when things get real.
But ignoring grappling isn’t the answer either. Because whether you like it or not, many fights do end up in a clinch or on the floor. If you don’t know what to do there, you’re in serious trouble.
Every lesson in this course is designed with one goal in mind: to keep you safe in a real-world self defence situation.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll discover:
The simplest, most effective ways to stop common takedowns.
How to use balance, posture, and movement to avoid being dragged down.
Street-smart sprawl drills that work even when you’re caught by surprise.
How to shut down punches, elbows, and weapons once someone grabs you.
The key control positions that give you the advantage without leaving you open.
Escapes and counters to break free quickly and create distance.
Survival positions that protect you from strikes and multiple attackers.
Quick, reliable escapes to get back on your feet fast.
Submissions that are simple, effective, and usable under pressure—without tying yourself up.
When to use submissions… and when to disengage.
How to break free and create space to run.
Strategies to end the fight on your terms, not your attacker’s.
Defending against bigger, stronger attackers.
What to do against multiple opponents
How to adjust techniques when space is limited (walls, cars, tight rooms).
This is grappling stripped down to what really works in the chaos of a street encounter—simple, direct, and brutally effective.
