What Will You Learn?

Neil Melanson is known for his brutal no-nonsense approach to combat. This is why MMA greats like Randy Couture and Chael Sonnen went to Neil for tips on how to be even MORE brutal on the mat. Cradle Of Filth is Neil’s latest entry into his catalog of pain, and it’s a can’t-miss.

No-Gi grappling can become frustrating for many athletes because sometimes it feels like you can’t get a good hold on your opponent. The trickier the guard, the harder it is to pass. This is especially true when there isn’t a gi involved. Using the cradle in a way that is different than a wrestling approach is a great way to shut down the guard, and lead you to a more dominant position. Once you start to understand the controlling mechanisms you will find plenty of options to transition from the cradle directly into a submission.

Cradle Of Filth, starts off by teaching the essential concept of “The Bunch”. This unique cradle involves using the near side cradle and your free near-side leg to step over and lock on The Bunch. This position keeps most of your weight centered in the sweet spot on your opponent, totally shutting down any hope for defense. From here you have multiple options including mount transitions, back takes, and of course, Melanson approved submissions like Butcher and The Boa!

Neil looks to give you more than a few top-tier techniques. With Cradle Of Filth Neil looks to give you a systematic approach to shutting down your opponent’s offense, pass the guard, and find the submission. Using Neil’s style of cradle doesn’t require you to be a world-class athlete, all you need to do is get your hands locked!
