In the book itself, each paragraph also contains named technique series, which are not mentioned here. Instead, you'll find the amount of technique series shown.

(double leg takedown • hook to double leg takedown • hook to fake shot to overhand • jab to double leg takedown • cross to double leg takedown • four punch combo to double leg takedown).
