I would like to commemorate this day as being the day that Couch attempted his drunken character assassination on Dan John. Thus providing the impetus for this thread. Hate to your rain your selective memory and the P&B party, but the impetus for this thread was the Couch proclaimation that ket...

It's pretty similar. It's another take on "daily practice" pretty much culled from the same sources. It's might be worth it if you think Maxwell's stuff helped you. You might pick up a couple things you like.

FlowMotion DVD

I was sent pre- production copy of a DVD called "FlowMotion" by Joe Wilson Ph.d, who owns Memphis Martial Arts ( http://www.memphismartialarts.com ), and is Sonnon's #1 guy. Production value is basic, him in his dojo, but totally clear in both camera work and audio. Joe has a very calm way...

Couch,

The man who crucified Twight for lack of "loyalty". Always loyal to those loyal to him. Um, uh, except Tyler.

Gill Athletics has rings!

I had a number of interesting emails with Mark and even contributed a workout. He's serious as a heart attack. The site is run on the "Fight Club" model. Prove yourself, and your in. There's a FUCKING WORLD of a difference between Couch and Mark. 1) Mark, as Nafod points out, is a WORLD CL...

Robbie Robinson's "Built" DVD..

Production - probably the "nicest" package for a training DVD I've seen. Tri- fold package with 2 DVDs that look like 45lb plates. Lot's of vintage and current photos of Robbie. Sound and filming are movie quality. The white sleeve was signed by Robbie, which will get framed. Content - Fir...
