Submission Grappling
Submission grappling is a fast-paced form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practiced without the traditional gi. Instead of relying on jacket and sleeve grips, students learn to control opponents using body positioning, wrestling-style ties, pressure, and movement. The result is a dynamic martial art that emphasizes athleticism, timing, and technical precision.
CLASS Structure
Every class is designed to help students build practical skills while developing strength, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.
Warm-Up
Classes begin with movements designed to prepare the body for grappling. Students practice foundational skills such as movement, balance, posture, and coordination while building the physical attributes needed for effective training.
Instruction
Instructors demonstrate the techniques and concepts of the day, breaking them down into clear, manageable steps. Students learn takedowns, escapes, guard work, submissions, positional control, and transitions that can be applied during live training.
Drilling
Students work with partners to practice the techniques under controlled conditions. Drilling helps develop timing, precision, and confidence while allowing instructors to provide individual feedback.
Live Training
Most classes include live training. Students safely apply techniques against resisting partners while developing problem-solving skills and real-world grappling ability. Beginners are introduced gradually and coached throughout the process.
