• Cradle city

  Plenty of excellent well explained submissions from the cradle. Also nice setups to get to cradle covered. I like Dave’s teaching style. He knows his stuff and clearly is passionate about teaching it.

• Great Cradle Video

  There are several other cradle video series and this is the best one. Some brutal catch wrestling stuff here that I wouldn't use on my training partners, but lots of practical good stuff, especially if you were a wrestler in a former lifetime.

  Did a little bit of wrestling in my youth, cradles were a go to move for me. This gem of an instructional opened up a whole new world on how to build on what I learned over 40 years ago!

• Cradles are new to me

  Cradles are completely new but I feel it fits my body structure perfectly. Sometimes I need a second to think about my next move and cradles allow me to segement the sequences down enough to execute.

• First cradle instructional

  David breaks down the cradle into easy to understand language for a beginner but includes lots of technical details for advanced practioners. This instructional blended wrestling, catch wrestling and BJJ elements and I have been able to implement these techniques into rolls and supplement my existing knowledge.
