Iranian Dogfight Tactics by Mike Rakshan

What Will You Learn?

Mike Rakshan presents a comprehensive system for dominating the dogfight position using Iranian wrestling tactics. This 4-part instructional begins with standing entries including the Marcelo Garcia arm drag, slap hand underhook, and high crotch entry, then progresses into ground entries featuring old school techniques, knee levers, and underhook positioning. Part 3 introduces the devastating Yazdani series with shucks, hooks, and single legs, plus tight waist controls and back takes. The series culminates with the overhook system — covering standing entries, uchi mata entries, power overhook, cartwheels at every level, dogfight triangles, belly down armbars, kani basami, and rolling submissions.
