Submission Grappling is a general term describing the aspect of martial arts and or combat sports that focus on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission using submission holds. It brings together techniques from Freestyle Wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Folk American Wrestling (catch-as-catch-can), Sambo and Judo.
Unlike tradition Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Grappling is based on no clothing grips, which makes some moves more difficult. It is also considered by some to be street Jiu-Jitsu, or street oriented.
This class is great for learning self defense, and keeping in shape. No matter if you have experience in any other martial art or not, this class is for you!
Our Submission Grappling class starts with the students lining up, and bowing into class. Then, the class will continue with a light cardio workout, which incorporates many of the necessary movements involved in the practice of the plural disciplines associated with the class. Then a full body stretching routine is initiated in order to prepare your body for the rest of class. Next, all students will gather around the instructor, who will teach the students a particular position, choke, lock, escape, takedown or defense. He will go over this technique several times until everyone has had a chance to see it. Once the instructor says so, students will partner up, and practice the technique on one another. This will go on for several minutes. Then the instructor will call the students in for more instruction. Then, the students will go back to working their techniques. After the instruction is over, the instructor will tell the students to grab their mouthpieces. Then, the students will partner up, and grapple, or "roll", as it is commonly called. The object is to submit your training partner, while not getting submitted yourself. Once this is over, the instructor will call time, and the students will switch partners. After a few round robins, time will be called. Everyone will line up by rank, and bow out of class.
* For those who wish to spar more, time after class will be delegated for more rolling. Only those who wish to participate are allowed. This is NEVER mandatory.
Our Submission Grappling Program is different than most other academy's. We train our students in levels. You start at Level 1, then work your way up to Level 5. When you first start our Submission Grappling Program, you will learn the more basic techniques, locks, takedowns, etc.. As you come to more classes, you will progress to higher levels, and thereby learn and work more difficult techniques, positions, takedowns, etc. You will receive awards for the higher levels of training.
