Read yourself. Quoted from his own description at the link you provided:

"Here, Sammy Franco, teaches you all the down and dirty techniques that will wipe out a "well seasoned" grappler in a street fight. This book includes: who is a grappler, inside the mind of a grappler, the 4 essential attributes of a grappler, common myths about grapplers and ground fighters, the advantages of grappling and ground fighting in a street fight, the disadvantages of grappling and ground fighting in a street fight, the good news and bad news of fighting a grappler in the streets, the ranges of unarmed combat, how to control the clinch, the "inside" position, clinch fighting skills and techniques, the swimming drill, countering the takedown, the grapplers strategic attack, breaking your balance, the three types of body tackles, how to determine which tackle the grappler will use, countering the tackle, sprawling techniques, the "stability' drill, when the fight goes to the ground, important escapes and reversals, environmental and terrain strategies, body weapons for the ground, and much more."

There is no such thing as "anti-grappling." He's teaching mainly take down defenses, apparently, such as "the inside position of a clinch," "the swimming drill" "sprawling techniques," as well as some "important escapes and reversals" for when on the ground. That's what it says in his own description. What are these dirty, deadly street effective techniques, you might ask (if you're kenpomace, that is)? It's grappling.

He's teaching basic grappling and selling it as how to beat grapplers. Classic. I mean, he's right, of course the way to stop take downs is learning to wrestle, but he's not the first (or thousandth) place I'd turn to for such instruction.

lol very true, isnt that what you learn in any brazilian jiu jitsu class??
you could clearly see this guy only wants to get his gas bills payed

[LoneHusky]

isn't he that guy that talking shit about some respected martial art?

If you have the time (and a strong stomach) watch the clip of his "Fecal Fighting" system. It's pure, unadulterated, 100% B.S.....

I'm afraid to watch this video, Mike. Does he teach the "dirty sanchez"?.... ....jj.

[BoarSpear]

I've suspected it for years.

Sammy Franco is a repressed homosexual with neo-Nazi fantasies of being dominated by a large man covered in prison tattoos.

If you have the time (and a strong stomach) watch the clip of his "Feral Fighting" system. It's pure, unadulterated, 100% B.S. And for someone who has "No true instructor except the street..." (taken from his bio), he sure uses a lot of what looks like totally filtered down, worthless attempts at copying Vunak's stuff.

Keep training, Sammy.

Whoa...mr always has something nice to say and goes out of his way to be polite about it... has a seriously low opinion of someone and can find no socially redeeming qualities? dude! tell us how you really feel ..lol
Seriously man you going off like that is making me wait for the damn video to load in another window. its been about 10 minutes now and still waiting...I did see his "wedge' thats NOT anything he invented thats for sure.....

[Sensei Saki]

I stopped.
It's good to see you,

MR always has something nice to say and goes out of his way to be polite about it
.Where did eek get a seriously low opinion of someone and can find no socially redeeming qualities?Can I help you?OK I will tell them when I see 'em.I am glad you find this funny. I think D Seriously man you going off like that is a lot of things.
I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Is it still about 10 minutes now and still waiting anymore?
Where? I see. Where did he get it?

[BoarSpear]

Yep it finally played... over half the clip is intro crap ...and you nailed it mike he has obviously studied vunaks material and added a little of tony's S.P.E.A.R. with some of petersons S.C.A.R.s and tried to mix it up and call it his own... its just an attempt to make money.

[BoarSpear]

Sorry if I ruined anyone's opinions of me.

I usually do try hard to dig deep and find the good in most people. Which is why I only wrote the best things I think of Sammy Franco.

Have you seen the part of his site where he offers to teach people how to be "Real Men?" I am not making it up. The guy's only beneficial function on earth is converting oxygen into carbon dioxide for the lucky houseplants he keeps.

No you DIDNT ruin my opinion of you but you sure cemented my opinion of sammy...it was the fact that you are so nice that made it stand out...for instance if you ever saw jubaji say something nice about something wouldnt it make you curious?

it was the contrast that made it stand out so ...yeah i looked the site over he needs help...

[Dan Biciocchi]

Sammy Franco does have a lot of material that looks very similar to what other guys are doing. His weapons philosophy is really a concept of Vunak's and his "razing" is really the shredder. His wedge principle is also not original. I think a lot of people have problems with his personal attitude. He just comes of as a narcissistic bung hole.

Good thing this thread got bumped. It really explained how grappling was destroyed in 2005 and is no longer effective or popular with fighters in 2009.

The Marines use a great deal of grappling. There are some bad ass grapplers in that department.

[WildWest.]

Franco is an ass.
