Art of the Wristlock

VIEWED AGAIN FOR REVIEW most recent very clear videos of wristlocks DEFINITELY WORTH the purchase price a very good deal I do recommend getting a grappling dummy for practice though if you are not in a dojo so that you can automatically program that skill set into your neurology Because it is a skill just like typing or playing the guitar or a sport you wont get the necessary precision without practice I just views the videos again and I definitely recommend them Roy Dean does provide close ups of the techniques at different angles several timesso you can see EXACTLY what he is doing to apply pressure and force to the wrist and elbow to gain control of the opponent Actually they are decent videos some are better than others but it will help to gain a greater understanding of the mechanics for this type of martial art But the reality is all the theory wont help you unless you get some kind of practice either with a real person or a grappling dummy Its such a specialized art when it comes to gaining control of the wrist and arm this skill can only be effectively learned through constant practice His video about getting out of the line of attack is very good with explaining and visuals after reviewing the videos more I am giving it a better review they are good videos to get an understanding of how techniques work but only as a supplement which cannot be substituted for practicethere are some techniques you can practice on your own such as getting out of the line of attack                 Decent videos updated review

Tons of great techniques but no closeups of them You can sort of see what hes doing and hes fairly descriptive but not much help if you are a visual learner In retrospect Id have paid about 5 for this app as is or 10 with closeups Pretty overpriced but I wasnt bent out of shape about it as it does offer decent quality video and tons if techniques Add closeups and drop the price 15 and Ill give 5 stars           Okay app but not worth 25

For me its a great app I practice Aikido but seeing the corelation I now appreciate BJJ more than I did before                 Method of teaching is great

Roy Dean is an amazing jiu jitsu practitioner and instructor straight up His method for explaining moves are VERY clear and concise and I highly recommend this as well as his other items like the Blue Belt and Purple Belt videos The criticism I have is that the iphone app is just a simple port of the videos to the iphone with no consideration given to the form factor and user experience on a small screen Theres a huge opportunity on the iOS devices to really think out of the box and do something innovative and I hope to see this app turn into something more eventually but as a convenient way to watch RDs videos I cant complain at all One other thing is that with the smaller screen I think the videos need to be changed dare I say re shot in some instances to provide close ups especially when dealing with the small movements required for wrist locks Overall this is great value and I recommend it                 Great Content but I have suggestions
