BJJ & NO-GI SUBMISSION WRESTLING

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling (ne-waza) and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds. BJJ specializes in using grips on your opponent’s uniform (kimono) to gain advantage using the principals of leverage and fulcrums. We are a Checkmat affiliated gym, and our students who train hard enough have the opportunity to advance through the belt ranks of BJJ!

No-Gi "Submission Wrestling" or "Grappling", refers to techniques and maneuvers applied to an opponent with the goal of getting an advantageous position and applying a submission hold such as a joint lock or choke. Commonly referred to as “no-gi Jiu-Jitsu”, the grabbing of clothing in this style is prohibited. 

Pure grappling does not include any striking techniques but rather uses the principals of leverage and the knowledge of anatomy to gain an edge over an opponent in a contest or conflict. 

Charlie's Combat Club uses several different grappling styles as our base for our curriculum. Techniques covered in classes include:

  • Clinching

Each grappling class at Charlie's Combat Club will include warm ups, techniques & concepts for the day, drilling and live grappling or situational sparring. Students are encouraged to participate in the live portion of class, but it is not required.  Please check out our CLASS SCHEDULE to see the availability of these classes.
