12/06/99 Gene's New Book

Gene designed his first club when he was just 8 years old and began practicing with it in the dojo regularly. Gene's students have encouraged him to put these techniques in writing in order to pass this knowledge on to other martial artists; until now, he has never divulged the secrets shown in this book to anyone outside his dojo. We are excited to announcethe book was released Dec. 6, 1999. It is entitled "Gene LeBell, The Grappling Club Master", and it is the world's first book written entirely on grappling with a club. The Club (baton), and side handle club (tonfa), are used as an extension of your arms while grappling.

This unique method of easy control and restraint of a suspect without striking a blow is a must for law enforcement, bodyguards, bounty hunters, military personnel and martial artists who want to learn the full scope of possibilities of this weapon. In light of the recent increase of police brutality and assault lawsuits, Gene couldn't have picked a better time to present this work.

Chapters include non-striking techniques, blocking strikes & kicks, controlled come-alongs, takedowns, holds for control, finishing holds, wrist locks, hip locks, arm locks, elbow locks, shoulder locks, leg & back locks, neck locks, knee locks, hold-downs, and much, much more! See the Products section to order your copy of "The Grappling Club Master", as well as your custom Gene LeBell grappling club.
