Although
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the core of our grappling
program we also teach Submission Wrestling, Combat
Sombo, and Judo as a part of our program. Both
male and female students enjoy these classes in a fun
and friendly environment. Please take a moment and review
a brief description of these arts...
Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu
What will you
do in a self-defense situation where you don't have the
distance to punch or kick??? What if you are forced into
what we call the "Grappling Range" of fighting??? Grappling
isn't just groundfighting, it is at any point in which you
and an attacker come into the grappling (clinch) range.
This is the most neglected range of self-defense in most
martial art systems. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling
art that was popularized in America by the legendary Gracie
family. Jiu-Jitsu concentrates on dominating your opponent
by using angles, leverage and superior body positioning
to control an opponents body movement. A person that has
a superior position is in a better situation to apply finishing
hold or start striking. This style allows for a smaller
person to defeat a much larger attacker. Jiu-Jitsu is excellent
for women who are often taken to the ground during assaults.
We would recommend this style for men, women and children
looking for a great work-out and realistic self-defense.
Submission
Wrestling
Submission Wrestling
is a blend of Freestyle and Greco Roman Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu,
Sombo and Carnival Wrestling. It places emphasis on the
takedown and submission. In real submission wrestling tournaments
the majority of your points are awarded for the takedown,
with a limited amount of time on the ground. This makes
for very exciting matches because immediately after a takedown
a competitor must start looking for submissions no matter
what position they are in. The competitors will be stood
back up after 60 seconds, which makes conditioning a must.
Jumping to the guard is a loss of points and all submissions
are legal. Most Submission Wrestling Style events on the
eastcoast are ran by primarily Jiu-Jitsu players and thus
are nothing more than Jiu-Jitsu matches without the kimono.
Hopefully this sport will grow.
Combat
Sombo
The art of Sombo
has rose above all arts for their knowledge in lower limb
manipulation(leg locks). Regarded by some to be a distasteful
type of submission. Those who have ever been made to tap
by one of these holds, know that they are highly effective.
Most students introduced to leglocks learn basic hip, knee,
ankle and heel holds. Lower limb manipulation is much more
complicated than that, it is an art of being able to flow
in and out of hundreds of different locking combinations
while stretching tendons, locking joints and causing muscular
pain. Trying to escape from someone who knows this style
of flow drilling is very difficult unless you know them
also. Most grapplers will never get to see the full effect
of these holds because they aren't allowed in most events
due to the high risk of injury. Some are even banned in
Sombo matches, but they are allowed on the street where
it really counts. Sombo, also spelled Sambo, or Cambo, is
an abbreviation of the Russian term "samoo-borona bezoruja',
meaning self-defense without weapons. It is a system of
personal defense against armed and unarmed opponents. There
are two forms of Sombo, sport and combat:
Sport
Sombo - a form of wrestling designed for training
and fitness development, in order to master the techniques
of self-defense without weapons. This form consists
of only safe techniques and is the normal format for
competitions.
Combat
Sombo - a comprehensive system of training for hand
to hand combat without weapons. This form consists of
strikes, dangerous holds, chokes and tactical strategy.
Combat Sombo is used to train the Special Forces of
the Russian Military. Unlike other systems of self-defense,
Sport Sombo is an integral part of Combat Sombo and
the primary method of technical, physical and psychological
training.
The Sombo system
of self defense was created by V.A. Spiridonov, V.S. Oschepkov
and A.A. Harlampiev, all teachers and sportsmen. It is
based on an analysis of different kinds of wrestling and
self defense, including the regional styles of the former
USSR and foreign systems of self defense. The techniques
inherent in the Sombo system have theirorigins in the
many varieties of national wrestling, as well as techniques
from jiu-jitsu, judo, aikido and karate. Combat Sombo
is a unique system of self defense which is both highly
practical and effective. Combine it with the pratice of
Sport Sombo and you can be assured that personal readiness
for self defense is always at it's peak. The training
methods and basic techniques of Sport Sombo are the foundation
for a modern and effective system of self defense and
personal fitness. The organizations which promote Sombo
welcome and encourage you to seek the benefits of this
modern and inclusive form of fitness, self defense and
sport.
Judo
Judo comes
to us from the fighting system of feudal Japan. Founded
in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, Judo is a refinement of the
ancient martial art of Jujutsu. Dr. Kano, President of
the University of Education, Tokyo, studied these ancient
forms and integrated what he considered to be the best
of their techniques into what is now the modern sport
of Judo.
Judo was introduced
into the Olympic Games in 1964 and is practiced by millions
of people throughout the world today. People practice
Judo to excel in competition, to stay in shape, to develop
self-confidence, and for many other reasons. But most
of all, people do Judo just for the fun of it.
Judo is best
known for it's spectacular throwing techniques but also
involves considerable grappling on the ground utilizing
specialized pins, control holds, arm locks, and Judo choking
techniques. Judo emphasizes safety, and full physical
activity for top conditioning.
