C'mon, be honest, how many times have you gotten a technical series, looked at it and haven't been able to pull one move off? Plenty!! And if you are a real student of the game, like I know you are then you already know that the secret to a move isn't the move itself but the setup!! And believe me when I tell you that nobody is showing you their setups.

I mean really, I can show you how to do a move from a thousand different positions but if I don't show you the setup, you'll never be able to pull it off - NEVER.

Listen, we've all had spaghetti before. So how do you know if spaghetti is good or bad? When you eat some spaghetti, you don't say that the spaghetti is good or bad based off of the taste of the noodles. You say that it is good or bad by the taste of the sauce. Well, the moves are the noodles, but the setups are the sauce. These people out here are faking you out, robbing you blind and taking your money by giving you spaghetti noodles. YOU NEED THE DOGGONE SAUCE!!!!!! That's what you deserve and that's what I'm going to give you.

FACT: There are a lot of B.S. products, with B.S. moves but nobody has taken the time to show you how to "put it all together" from start to finish. From A to Z. They are hiding the MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO GET BETTER!!

My friend, this day might be one of the most important days of your grappling career. Why?

You will get EVERYTHING that has enabled me to be one of the most successful grapplers of all time and the only one to compete successfully at The Olympic Games, the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu World Championship and the Submission Wrestling World Championships in my new exclusive series - The Grind!

What Is “The Grind”?

THE GRIND IS ESSENTIALLY A MASTERY-LEVEL SEMINAR. IT IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE, EDUCATIONAL, INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING COMPILATION EVER PUT TOGETHER FOR THE GRAPPLER BY A GRAPPLER.

The Grind is essentially a Mastery-Level Seminar on "Judo for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Players" and "BJJ for Judo Players". The Grind is also an informative rich series that is currently revolutionizing grappling. The Grind is also an education on how to win matches!
In today's grappling world, there's been a shift. In judo and Brazilian jiujitsu especially, DVDs, books and tapes have become commonplace, abundant, cheap and competitively irrelevant.Today, the most successful grapplers - the ones with the edge - are the ones with the best information. Yet most people still value "things they can touch" more than the knowledge of how to use the right stuff at the right time. Consequently, they remain "stuck in the mud" unable to move forward. Well, you can get "out of the mud" and never get stuck by obtaining - "The Grind".

"The Grind" is the most comprehensive, educational, informational and entertaining compilation ever put together for the grappler by a grappler. "The Grind" is an opportunity to see "real" techniques done in competition on the international and world class level. "The Grind" also allows you to get an inside fly-on-the-wall view of what Judo is like on the International level. It is most importantly an opportunity to see how Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Judo go together like milk and cookies!

What Makes This Series So Different?

Well, most series just teach you some moves but you never get to see the moves in action. Sometimes the moves look as if they just are or won’t be effective. The Grind does not provide that. The Grind allows you to basically take a look inside of the mind of Rhadi Ferguson while he is competing. Allow me to further explain.

Here’s what you will get with The Grind:
THE VIDEOS

The 2004 Pan Am Tour

You will watch Rhadi Ferguson as he competes in the 2004 Pan American Tour through Puerto, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Ferguson will also take you by the hand and show you the the living conditions while he was traveling (for those of you who think that competition trips are the equivalent to a vacation… you’ve got another thing coming). You will see EXACTLY how including Brazilian Jiujitsu into your Judo training can really increase your submission game and make you extremely dangerous on the ground

The 2004 Pan American Championships

You could virtually call the part of the video serious "The Road to the Olympics". It is the 2004 Pan American Judo Championships held in La Isla Margarita, Venezuela. It was a tough tournament where Rhadi Ferguson had to employ some viscous gripping strategies and pull out every groundwork trick in the book (that I knew at the time). Ferguson’s ability to employ some good gripping strategies, sound tactics and non-stop groundwork really helped him secure a Bronze Medal here. You can see exactly how BJJ really helped his overall game. And you can see the importance of good coaching as you hear 1984 Olympic Bronze Medalist Eddie Liddie and former United States Judo Federation President, David Matsumoto coaching Rhadi through his matches. This is a superb piece of work due to the fact that you willl get to see ‘in-detail” how you must constantly attack that arms of your opponent on the ground, whether you hit the armbar or whether you miss it to build up an international, domestic or local reputation as someone who WILL WORK on the ground. Building up your reputation for your style is critical, especially when you need the referees to allow you to work on the mat. This is something that Rhadi Ferguson learned from 4-Time Olympian and 2-Time Olympic Bronze Medalist, Jimmy Pedro.   In this part of the video series you will also be able to see how Rhadi Ferguson, effectively utilizes his version of the flying armbar for judo.  You will also see his matches versus, Canada, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic.   What makes this video so amazing is that Rhadi Ferguson is fighting 7 months after a complete Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) rupture and reconstructive knee surgery and 2 weeks after tearing his quadriceps muscles.  You can see the concentration in his gripping and gripfighting strategy.

The Tre Torri International Championships 

The Tre Torri International Tournament is one of the strongest tournaments in Europe. It is able to boast in having in its attendance many world champions, Olympic Medalists and European Medalists.  This tournament is a very strong tournament and as a matter of fact I attended the tournament with 4-time Olympian Jimmy Pedro and 1996 Olympian Orlando Fuentes. Both who earned gold and bronze medals respectively. This tournament was the first European tournament in which I was able to get to the finals. I made my way through the grind of the day by using some of my favorite moves against my opponents and employing some good strategy. Unfortunately, the same strategy that allowed me to be successful during the day was the same strategy that cost me a victory in the finals.  Here you can get a clear view of what happens when strategy selection goes wrong and why you need to have an alternative game plan if the one you are using isn’t working.  On this day, I made this mistake and took home a silver medal instead of a gold.  I could have won, but didn’t.  However, I was able to secure some spectacular takedowns and submissions during the day. This is  truly a great learning experience and an excellent case study video for those who would like to explore the role and benefits of Brazilian Jiujitsu; its advantages and shortcomings in the sport of judo. This is one bad @ss tournament!!!! 

The Grind Matches!!!! 

This portion of The Grind is absolutely spectacular.  This video segment of The Grind includes the following: - 

The 25 minute, triple over time match between 2004 Judo Olympian Rhadi Ferguson and Multiple Time Submission Wrestling World Champion Jeff Monson at the world’s most feared and respected grappling tournament, the Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling World Championships; 

- The match where Rhadi Ferguson almost loses in newaza against 2004 Olympian from the Dominican Republic - Jose "El Toro" Vasquez. Jose actually pinned Rhadi in this match until Rhadi whipped out the Brazilian Jiujitsu game and sealed the deal. 

- The rarely seen match of 2004 Olympian Rhadi Ferguson versus 2000 Olympian Ato Hand at the toughest Judo tournament on North American soil, the New York Open Judo Tournament. Before this fight Rhadi and Ato had fought each other two times with Rhadi winning one match and Ato winning one match - see the conclusion of the grudge match between two of the best 100 kilogram players in US Judo history. 

Inside The Grind 

In the aforementioned videos you have the benefit of hearing the crowd, the directions from the coaches chairs, and the effect that the ambient has on the match, the players, and the referees. This is an important part of "The Grind" and it cannot be overlooked. Being able to "eavesdrop" in on the coach during a match is priceless. Also I wanted you to actually be "there" in the match with me in the first three discs. In the 5 part video portion of "Inside The Grind" Rhadi Ferguson wants you to understand, feel, and grasp, what is going on inside the mind of a fighter while he is in "The Grind". This part of "The Grind" is absolutely PRICELESS. Rhadi Ferguson literally takes you by the hand and walk you through every match, every exchange and every thought that he is having during the match. You will basically be able to grab a chair and take a seat inside of my mind.  You can see, where Rhadi overcomes, where he mentally shuts down, when he’s frustrated, pissed, and when Rhadi is just not his sharpest and when he’s feeling like he’s on the top of the world. Most athletes won't show this side in a video series, but I'm not here to lie to you and tell you that I'm invincible. I win and I lose. I'm here to provide you with the information, insight, and tools for you to be successful. Therefore, you will get every single match in “The Grind” with this feature on “inside The Grind”. Rhadi Ferguson will walk you through every single match and provide you with the details of what he was thinking, what he did and why he did it.

Bonus Submissions & Throws

This bonus section is truly one of excitement featuring lightening fast submissions and high amplitude throws. In this video you will see MMA Coach and superb former judo player David Camarillo, Olympic Bronze Medalist and mat work phenom Flavio Canto, one of the most respected people in the United States in the 73kg division Chuck Jefferson, sambo practitioner and expert Joshua Charette, the “judo guy” who has submitted many high level BJJ Black Belts David Ellis and many more. This video is a treat. It’s like the ‘icing’ on top of ‘The Grind’.
