The Syllabus
This is the full Pressure Point Black Belt syllabus of the Open Circle Fighting Method: balance, pressure points, waveform power, the Body Alarm Reaction, takedowns, weapons, locks and ground striking — and on through the coaching levels.
Each belt is its own complete course with its own lessons and its own grading at the end. Work through them in order and you build a deep, practical understanding of how the body works — and how to make it fail on command.
Five Levels
One enrolment opens all five levels. Each finishes with a grading.
36 lessons
Need-to-know street truths, the balance points, balance drills and training drills — the foundation for everything that follows.
96 lessons
Waveforms, the Body Alarm Reaction, the "players", pressure points of the limbs, torso, head and neck, movement and bag drills, and takedowns.
37 lessons
Weapons and weapon retention, ground striking (not ground fighting), locks and bars, and fitness.
64 lessons
Strikes and knockout points, striking principles, locks and limb breaks, strangles and takedowns, bunkai, targets and applications — and the principles behind them.

The Resume button takes you straight back to your last lesson, and each video remembers where you stopped.
Lessons you have watched are ticked off, so you always know exactly how far through the course you are.
Lessons run in the order Russell teaches them, module by module, so you build skill on top of skill.
Pay once and the course is yours. Come back to any lesson, any time, as often as you need.
