There is nothing in the world like grappling! It is primal and in its very essence it is what life is all about; the chase, fun, struggle and survival. It teaches you how to cope with trying situations; teaches you to always search for options and that you can triumph even when the odds are against you.
This combat art puts you on the Quixotic hunt for the real you, the champ lurking inside. It wants you to find that inner beast that allows you to rip off your shirt, look your opponent in the eye and utter those immortal fighting words made famous by Kimbo Slice, “Run it!” And that is the spirit, in which this book was written.
"Tapmonster" was written for that grappler who is looking for an extra edge and alternative approaches to grappling.
In my decade of grappling, I have used many ideas to increase my skills. And since my inspiration has come from many sources, I did not hesitate to include ideas from academic research, other sports and from the ordinary man on the street in this book. I also know that the best way to learn is from those who do it the best. That is why Tapmonster is also filled with ideas from the champions of our sport.

-How to deal with FNGs
-The Pump Fake
-The Hands Off Approach
-Snatching and Tripping
-Ambidextrous Thinking
-Shaquille O'Neal and Grappling
-The Importance of Gimmicks

(***Tapmonster is not an instructional and is not an exercise book. It is an entertaining book of ideas based on the DIME Concept (Dream - Inspire - Motivate - Entertain/Educate)

Money Trunk! - An Action Flick Short Story
What would you do if you found almost half a million dollars in cash and no one knew anything about it?
Would you keep it? Or, would you try to find out whom it belonged to?
Meet Chris Copeland, who doesn’t have to think about what he'll do. You will have to read “Money Trunk!” to find out if he kept the money. But whatever he did, he’s in a hell of a lot of trouble for it.
Excerpt:
“Chris was nervous as he stood with the bolt cutters. The old, brown footlocker at his feet had to be at least 70 years old and the lock used to secure it seemed even older. The trunk had a mildew smell, as if it hadn’t seen daylight in a few years. It looked like one of those ones you see in the barracks of every World War II or Vietnam movie ever made.”
