His progression seems reasonable. It looks much like how SBG works.Originally posted by James LeeYes, that's exactly what Scott wrote here -Softwork to Hardwork.

I was at the Softwork seminar, watched this demo in person, then duplicated it myself. (though somewhat less impressively)Originally posted by CKD
The person quoted above is on the right track. There was a progression to the drills we did, and grappling multiple opponents was just one of them... after we worked drills against single opponents.
For this particular drill, no strikes or submissions were employed, nor was anyone going "hard". The emphasis was on relaxing and using movement and body positioning. If you could stay relaxed even against multiple opponents, it was MUCH easier to remain mobile and able to react spontaneously to counter your opponents' attempts to pin you. If you tensed up much, you were soon crushed under/between 3 bodies.
From my own 11 years of grappling, most people run into problems as soon as they stiffen up against an opponent. By training to remain relaxed and mobile, you can use your techniques and strategies more effectively and not gas out so easily. Watch Abu Dhabi or any of the top technical grapplers, and you know what I mean.
With practice, I would eventually have my training partner(s) slowly crank up the intensity, start incorporating submissions, and maybe even strikes. This is *part* of Scott's method of moving up the pyramid to the point that Softwork and Hardwork merge. I'm oversimplifying, but I hope you get the point.
Scott doesn't claim to be a magician nor unbeatable... and his results were duplicated by *nearly* everyone present, if not as smoothly. That's the other point: it doesn't have to take years of practice to make major improvements in your effectiveness. It just the willingness to go a bit deeper into your current practice and confront your fears to beat down that "inner pansy".Comment

I think through the rest of the posts we deduced that it was a drill so I was mistaken as to what he was showing exactly. As for progressive drilling and training, I agree with that as well, just didn't know what it was.Originally posted by James Lee
LOL at RMax not needing to. If you asked him to demo a FULL OUT, no consent escape form the ground in that exact situation I guarantee he'd be using striking/grappling offensive tools. That doesn't detract from him or his ability at all in anyway...he's not Superman, we're all human.Comment

No magic involved. It just looks and feels like there is.Comment

A couple of those "dorks" were SBGi fighters, a few BJJ grapplers and one was a judo champion.Comment

Join Scott's forum and you can talk directly to them. By the way, all of those photos were LIVE and improvised, nothing posed or choreographed about them.Comment

None of the action pics were posed.
As for "dorks"... you obviously have no clue. Go back to sleep.

I'll give you a choice. They were either posed, or those guys really are dorks. Take your pick.Originally posted by JasonE Think what you like, but I was there.
