What it is
Standing grappling and takedowns
A structured wrestling program for adults, led by coach Taarish.
Wrestling is the standing half of grappling: closing the distance, taking an opponent down and controlling them once there.
The work is in your stance and your feet first. You learn to change levels and get underneath someone, to attack the legs or the body, to defend by sprawling and to fight for position in the clinch — and then to hold the top once you have it.
There is no gi and nothing to grip, so everything is built on hand-fighting, timing and pressure. It is the most physically demanding thing on the schedule; expect to be out of breath.
It pairs directly with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — jiu-jitsu is strongest on the ground, and wrestling is how you decide where the fight happens.
