Our Grappling Program

Ground fighting for ages 13 and up emphasizing the most successful movements from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling.

In a real fight, there is a large chance that the fight will go to the ground. That is why we teach are students both the ability to fight on there feet and on the ground as well.

Students learn to progress through four phases to overcome an opponent or attacker.

1. Control the distance or clinching.
2. Take the fight to the ground.
3. Advance your position.
4. Finish with a submission.

Because you can safely train and compete at full power, students develop a strong sense of confidence in their technique. When caught in a submission hold in training or in competition, a competitor will tap out to declare submission, and his opponent will release the hold.

Submissions allow the practitioner to decide the appropriate amount of force necessary in a fight. A submission can merely cause pain, or dislocate a joint and cause the body to shut down.

Many martial artists from striking styles such as Karate and Tae Kwon train with us to become well rounded. Knowing how to fight on the ground gives them the confidence to throw strikes with full power without fearing getting tackled to the ground.
