Saturday, November 21st Leg Lock Seminar

Trey — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:33:20 +0000

Five Points Self Defense Academy will be hosting Andrew “Goatfury” Smith for a leg lock seminar on Saturday November 21st, 2009 at 2p.m.

The seminar is open to anyone who would like to attend for the cost of $35 dollars. Space is somewhat limited so the seminar will be capped at 30 people.

Andrew and myself have been training partners since around 2000. He has developed in that time a great tactical as well as technical understanding of the leg lock game and its never ending applications. As his long time training partner I have been on the receiving end of his leg attacks, and from personal experience I would pay him to show how he sets up and executes his leg attacks.
