The 2008 U.S. Olympic contender Dan McCormick has just released a battery of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu takedown videos designed to teach pros and novices the most effective and easy to learn BJJ takedown techniques. I have to say as a big fan of MMA and the UFC they look really impressive. Like most guys I love martial arts. I grew up watching Bruce Lee movies and when I got older I embraced his philosophy of mixing fighting styles to make use of the best they all have to offer. When the Ultimate Fighting Championships came about in the early 80's I knew I had found a home. This was Bruce Lee's credo gone mainstream. Hundreds if not thousands of fighters molding and adapting multiple fighting styles in a quest for perfection. It proved that rigid adherence to a set style was outdated and MMA fighters were wiping the mat with the old guard of traditionalists.
McCormicks Brazilian Jiu Jitsu takedown videos are a perfect example of a western fighter willing to bend to modern adaptations of technique without breaking the eastern traditionalism his his old world Judo fighting style is founded in. Dan is willing to step outside the box and offer techniques all fighting styles can utilize and benefit from.
The fact that Dan "doesn't look like much" is one of the deceptively alluring qualities he brings to the viewer. You get a real feeling of "Hey, I can do this!" that many martial arts training videos lack. Even better is the fact that these techniques carried him all the way to Beijing so there's no doubt they work.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a phenomenon that's sweeping the country. It is the ultimate style for self defense and a great and exciting way to "stay in shape". For more information on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu takedown videos check out
