Bodycombs dvd set is cheap and an excellent deal. After studying his dvd's my finishing percentage went way up, especially on "bigger, stronger opponents." (even equal rank or +1)

I can't recommend his stuff enough and people at my gym were asking me where I learned all that stuff, and I always point back to Reily.

The dvd's aren't great quality, its just him doing a seminar, but the information is excellent and I would recommend it to anybody.

ALSO I have to plug Hall's 50/50 dvd set. Its still an evolving guard and a slight bit of it is outdated but 99% is excellent material. As most know, Hall explains stuff so well you can watch it many times and continually get knowledge out of it.

The only thing about Hall's is that, it is JUST about the 50/50 position (obviously).

I cant recommend both dvd's enough.

(in case anyone asks, I am a purple belt, just shy of 4 years exp...and I <3 leglocks).

Don't get the Sonnon one. Kesting is a good primer for Paulson, as Paulson is a mentor of Kesting.

Thanks for the reply - why would you not get the Sonnon DVD?

As far as I can tell from the brief clips I have seen on Youtube, the saddle position is more comprehensive as a form of control than any of the aforementioned material.

Sambo Steve could give more detail, but as far as I remember The Saddle isn't actually the name of any position that comes up in Sambo. There seems to be a level of bullshittery about Sonnon pushing it as such, but Sambo Steve can correct me if I'm wrong.

Like I said, I'd ask Steve for more info.

Has anyone seen both of Reilly's DVDs, Sambo Leglocks and Dynamic Entries? If so, is there a lot of overlap in terms of the leg lock material?

I have both and absolutely recommend his sambo leglocks, not so much dynamic entries.

The sambo leglock dvd is a flow series and some information on those transitions. These are pretty much all ground fighting.

The dynamic entries is fancier entries to submissions, a lot of them are standing entries.

They aren't very similar.

The saddle stuff isn't as easy to enter into, and i agree that Scott's view on what's in sambo is a little odd, but the positions he shows are incredibly stable in my experience, particular the "side saddle" position transition from 50/50. It doesn't integrate as tightly with the x/one-leg x in my opinion, but it's a solid control and the finishes work. I haven't watched the sets in a while, esp not since I've gotten an actual ASA coach, but I do plan to revisit the material once the mechanics of my leg locks are better.
