MMA and BJJ dvds in the library

hooplah

Hi folks,

just posting here to let people know that there are some BJJ and MMA dvds available in Dublin City Public Libraries. I've seen them there a few times now and there doesn't appear to be loads of interest in them...

Mods, I hope this isn't inappropiate, if it is please let me know.

Brazilian jiu jitsu techniques and tactics: volume 1 - throws


Master Marcus Vinicius Di Lucia presents numerous throws and takedowns from his Judo background, adapted to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition. Among the topics covered are: leg throws, hip throws, arm throws, combination throws, counter throws and takedowns. The techniques are presented and applied with an attention to detail that will enable you to get complete control over your opponent. This DVD is a must-have resource for any serious martial artist.

Marcus Vinicius Di Lucia started training in Judo at the age of five. He won several titles such as State, National and International Championships. At the age of 17, he started to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Marcus received a black belt in Judo in 1986 from Master Alfredo Dornelles. He also received a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1992 from Grand Master Fransisco Mansur. He is presently a 4th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the owner of The Beverly Hills Jiu-Jitsu Club.

Basement tapes series for MMA conditioning: Explosive Power


Explosive power is critical for all sports. For mixed martial artists, it is essential. This DVD is designed to give you that explosiveness needed to perform by developing the coordinated muscular action.
Agility ladder drills are used to develop quickness in the lower body, while kettlebells and medicine ball drills are employed for full body work. After this workout, there will not be a muscle that you have not worked - EXPLOSIVELY!

As I said above these are available through Dublin City Public Libraries, if you are a member of another public library and they don't stock the same items you can borrow them using the service available through www.borrowbooks.ie
