And now, a breakdown of each unit in the course, and what you can expect to walk away with when it's all said and done:

Crosshand Standup

Two things you MUST NOT do when you’re taken down with a double leg against the cage (you are immediately doomed if you make either of these two mistakes). Here’s what to do instead, to not only get back to your feet, but to completely demoralize your opponent by getting away easily, and taking away everything they just worked for…

Chin Scoop Get Up

Learn the chin scoop get up Cain Valasquez used against Brock Lesnar (which Jeremy Stephens also used to great effect), including the subtle details that allow you to pull this off every time… NEVER panic again when you’re taken down against the cage, because after you master this get up, you will breathe that calm sigh of relief knowing you can immediately turn the tables anytime this situation presents itself. You will also learn the 3 big threats you face as you use this technique, and how to shut them down easily.

Duck Under to Double Leg Takedown

Where to place your head, as you go for the double leg, that makes all the difference in the world between easy success, and completely missing the move. Get this wrong, and you’re just handing your opponent an easy finish or reversal. Get it right, and they have some serious problems to deal with while you set up your takedown or attacks.
How to use your bodyweight and pressure to glue your opponent to the cage (give them NO space to move or escape, while you set up the takedown).
How to use your opponent’s predictable reactions against them - his defense and escape attempts will literally be the fuel you need to set up your takedown! (At this stage, they only have one of two options. Either one gives you what you want. Heads you win, tails they lose.)

Eric Uresk’s Double Leg Takedown Against The Fence

Now we’re getting into the details! How to use the bounce of the cage to time the perfect double leg takedown… this one is DYNAMITE!

Two details that give you so much leverage, it will feel effortless as you finish the takedown (no struggle whatsoever if you get these grips right - they just tumble like a tree going over - tttiiimmmbeeerrr!)

2 Different Get Ups From The Bottom, Focused on Head Positioning

How to use your WEIGHT, by transfering energy from your hips into your arm as you post, to completely shut down your opponent’s ability to trap you on the cage. This is such a huge understanding to have in MMA and grappling because your weight is FREE! Gravity is always working, with zero strenuous muscular effort necessary to take full advantage. This is also one of the keys to “great cardio,” as you learn how not to waste energy in the first place!
Every wrestler knows: where the head goes, the body goes. Here’s how to use head control to make sure your opponent has no control of you as you work your get up.

Gets up from the bottom Part 2.

A fundamental movement (subtle) that either makes it impossible for you to be effective as you work your get up, or makes it impossible for your opponent to control you and keep you down. (Hint: it’s all in the hips!)
Where to position your hands for maximum leverage as you work the get up.
Where to put your feet to make this easy (get this wrong and you’ll either fail, or waste so much energy getting up you may as well have failed!)

Get ups from the bottom Part 3

How to STAY SAFE from getting beat up as you work the get up! (Getting lazy here is handing your opponent a free knockout).
Why (and how) to keep one shoulder, and one hip on the ground at all times (if it’s two of either, you’re wrong, and in trouble!)
How, when, and why you might want to switch sides as you work your get up!
Which leg to free first when they sit on your ankles to keep you pinned, and how to move your foot so it’s effortless and you don’t waste energy.

Head and Knee Position Drill

Where to put your head to give your opponent real problems as you work a good offensive position against the cage
How to position your foot and knee to completely disrupt your opponent’s stance and keep them off balance
What to do when your opponent tries to get his head underneath your head to fight for position (an easy movement to regain control quickly, that also happens to be annoying and demoralizing for your opponent - bonus!)
When, and how, to switch your feet for maximum control.
Where to place your hands for maximum control to work in combination with your head on the upper body
When you get good at this drill, your opponent will feel like they are glued to the cage and there is simply no escape. And once they feel that, the pressure is ON! Every second ticking by is another second they know they’re losing, and as they become more and more desperate, they’ll make worse and worse decisions you can easily take advantage of!

Head Control (Bonus!)

Here’s a move very few people know, demonstrated by Eric Uresk, and a key detail you’ll need to know so the ref doesn't call you on it, that you can use to completely shut down your opponent’s ability to fight your underhook. It takes no effort, and is so easy you won’t even believe how well it works until you try it. But if you don’t know these two subtle details, you’ll be penalized in a caged fight. You do not want to miss this one.

High Crotch Off The Double

Here is how to turn a common problem (no grips) into a steep advantage, once you have your opponent up against the cage. We cover two different takedown options, based on your opponent’s reaction to the single leg control. Everything you need to shut down the scramble to escape is here.

High Crotch with Head Outside

How to fake the takedown to set up better control, and it all leads to a classic, fundamental takedown we see Khabib Nurmagomedov use all the time (and the subtle details you’ll need to understand to make this work)

Offensive High Crotch Against The Fence

When you’re fighting against the cage, EVERYONE defends the same way… turning their hips, getting parallel with the cage, they get the underhook or overhook, and they use their free arm to defend. It happens the same way every time. Here’s how to exploit this most common defense to dominate the situation, and use smart grips, smart knee placement, and smart head placement to control the fight.
How to use all the elements you’ve learned to break this defense to destroy your opponent’s balance and take them down!
How to use your own legs and knees to control your opponent as you go for the takedown, or set up the double leg.

Shuck by the Ride against the Fence - Khabib style!

How to use your weight to make your opponent miserable - and waste a TON of energy at every turn trying to escape.
How to control your opponent’s head so they CAN’T escape!
Why hip height usually determines the victor in these sorts of scrambles, and what to do about it.

Feints and Counter Attacks - Cruz Black Friday (Scroll to bottom to see what others are saying!!!)

Who else wants to learn the exact drills and details I created to become a UFC Champion - that Joe Rogan, Phil Davis and others have said are unlike anything they've ever seen?

This is the intermediate follow up to MMA Fundamentals, that teaches you the details I've never taught before, that allow you to think and move like me.

I know because I was ridiculed (even after I was coming up in my competitive career) for how I wasn't "orthodox".

But I believe at this point I've proven these strategies and techniques are effective at the highest levels of competition, that they're unlike anything else out there (ask Joe Rogan, Phil Davis, and anyone who has commentated on my fights) and now I want to share them with you!

Here's what you will learn in this course:

Combinations

- The 7 most basic, rudimentary combinations

- Why you want to end with the opposite kick of the last punch thrown.

- Why (and how) to attack BOTH sides of the body with combinations

- Why the horizontal plane is not the only plane to vary attacks with (and what you should do to maximize your opponent’s confusion, as well as the damage you do).

The two keys to EVERY combination (miss these and you’re flushing the impact of your combos right down the toilet, as well as risking an easy knockout for your opponent)

How to use both sides of attack to take away your opponent’s ability to check kicks (this is pure gold and will immediately change your results in the cage)

The purpose of combinations is to overwhelm your opponent with information - to FLOOD them with information - so they are helplessly confused and completely useless to defend the attack.

Also...

How to design and execute these floods of information successfully
How to transition to the finishing attack for maximum impact
How to make sure you’re protected as you execute your combination
Every feint, drill, combination and counter move you need to dominate the fight, and examples from fights you can look up right now (I only teach what I know how to use, and everything you learn in this course you can find in any of my highlight reels!)

Offense moving backward double leg (used this in the Mizugaki fight at UFC 178)

How to take advantage of your opponent when they are pissed off (when they have that look in their eyes like they want to murder you - for really tagging them or connecting with a clean shot, then you know you’ve set this up right - and this is one of the best times to easily (and calmly) score a takedown... IF you understand how to bait them correctly - so you can use their aggression against them as a weakness.
You don’t always need to slug someone to get this reaction out of them, some guys are aggressive out of the gate - and this technique can be used just as easily in any situation where you can bait your opponent to chase you with the strong side.
Why you need to KEEP running after you set this up, and what can happen to you (bad) if you lose momentum

Jabs, Combos, avoiding getting hit

Here are the most basic elements of what makes a jab successful, or unsuccessful, and how you can begin to use them immediately to change your entire fight game (if you’re not doing these already, it’s going to feel like magic to start incorporating them)
How to use your footwork with the jab
The one thing you need BESIDES footwork that will make or break your jabs
How to move your shoulders when you jab (critical)
How to move which feet and when (this isn’t just about which foot to move when, but which foot serves which purpose. Getting this right is how you are not only effective, but stay flowing from one move to the next)
The number one way to not get hit (this is not just head movement, because without this one piece of the puzzle, you’re an easy target)
How to bridge the combos you drill to real life effectiveness (and how to choose which combo to fire when).

How to land moving backwards(secret to setting up and landing the flying knee)

If you want to see what I mean, check out 15 seconds left in the 5th round of fight against Mighty Mouse, UFC on Versus 6.

Ground and pound

How to take advantage of one of the most common mistakes your opponent will make after a double leg takedown, trying to get their base back (it is a gap you can fill with punches and chaos they will feel like they simply can’t escape )
Why it’s so important to control the hands when you execute this technique (and how to do it so you have the tactical advantage of breaking his base and opening up stinging shots)

Ground and pound 2

How to make sure your opponent cannot get away using your weight, when they’re on the bottom, and how to use your posture to increase the threat - they will be pinned and you will be in a position to deliver knockout blows, while you’re also out of range of any strikes. This one is evil.
Why it’s not about ending the fight, this is about guaranteeing your opponent eats some shots and burns a ton of energy to escape, and puts them in a position where they don’t even want to think about facing off again - but now you’re squaring up again.
How this technique and series rely on the amazing difference between simple inches of movement - how if you get it right, you’ll be as heavy as an anvil and completely safe from taking damage - but how if you get it wrong, your opponent will escape immediately and you will land nothing.

Feints

How you can use feints offensively AND defensively, and the critical details for each style.
The one thing SO MANY people get wrong about feints (do this and your opponent will know you’re not bringing a real threat - and they won’t give you the information you’re after)
Why feints are the key to unlocking victory against any opponent (do this right and you’ll have a way to get all the intelligence you’ll ever need in a fight - your opponent will reveal their strategy exactly to you, no matter how hard they’ve trained)
Upper body vs lower body elements of feints
Feints allow you to read your opponent’s mind by forcing them to react, and reveal what they want to do. This is one of the greatest tools you can have as a fighter, and feints are critical to success. Here’s w2hat you need to know about them.
Why your toe and your shoulder are key to selling the feint - do this and they will believe you - don’t do this and they won’t buy it.
A style of feint I am probably known for the most, and you can use to not only gather intel but get your opponent to commit to an attack or to feel safe when really, you’re advancing even more aggressively. Dynamite.

Double End Bag

How to use a double end bag to actually improve your skill (what purpose to train with so you’re building skill and not just doing a workout)
What a double end bag is for, and how you can use combinations to make adjustments to improve your training for fighting specific opponents.
The importance of timing and movement with double end bags

The exact moment you know you have it - and how to spot this indicator
Complete breakdown of this faint and how to pair it with an uppercut
How to exploit your opponent’s strong side and weak side to play right into your uppercut!
The critical footwork detail that makes all the difference in whether this lands or not. Get this right - and it’s only a game of inches - and you’ll connect with ease. Get it wrong and you’ll miss by a country mile. It’s easy to get it right if you know what to look for, but it’s also very easy to get wrong if you don’t, so pay close attention to this part.

What People Are Saying:

“Dom Cruz's movement is the foundation for fighting & fight DNA!!! No One Moves Like Dom.”

Jeremy Stephens

“His unorthodox footwork makes him really hard to read and predict. That’s not something that’s easy to train for. It takes a whole new way of thinking for an opponent, the kind of shit that could keep a man up at night.”

Cat Zingano

"Dominick's footwork is an algorithm. It's like watching a machine process information & solve problems. When he is teaching I'm ALL ears.”

Phil Davis

“There are very few people who move like Dominick does, his movements are very unusual, very difficult to pattern, and they are not indicative of any style. His style is uniquely his.”

Joe Rogan
