Combat Grappling

Any martial arts system that hope to offer its participants a true holistic approach needs to include a level of grappling.

Grappling refers to techniques, manoeuvres, and counters applied to an opponent in order to gain a physical advantage, such as improving relative position, escaping, submitting, or injury to the opponent. Techniques can be broadly subdivided into Clinch Fighting, Takedowns and Throws; Submission holds and Pinning or Controlling Techniques; and Sweeps, Reversals, Turnovers, and Escapes.

When added into the striking and weapons aspects of the martial arts combat grappling offers the student useful skills in all ranges of combat.
