AGILITY LADDER TRAINING!


Just wanted people to see what's being said about my agility ladder training dvd:

"For the 15 plus years that I've been involved in combat athletics, from various self defense arts to MMA, it's the combatant who's quicker when it counts who comes out on top. "Cat-like" agility is something all fighters desire but too many believe it's something you are born with. Not true. After meeting Shawn I was immediately impresssed with how such a powerfully built individual could change both direction and level with absolute control and precision. The agility ladder is much more than a tool for football or soccer players. The techniques he has laid out are tailor made for the casual BJJ player all the way up to the hardcore MMA fighter. Whether you are sprawling to fend off a double leg, releasing from the clinch to fire a high kick or parrying a straight right hand to throw your own left hook, this dvd will help you do it quicker with proper form, speed and power. There's more to fight training than lifting weights and running sprints and this is it!"

This dvd is getting awesome reviews! Pick one up and find out for yourself!
