Combat Submission Wrestling
What is Combat Submission Wrestling?
CATCH WRESTLING+
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU+
COLLEGIATE WRESTLING+
Combat submission wrestling is a No-Gi hybrid style of submission wrestling developed by MMA pioneer, Erik Paulson. CSW focuses on clinching, takedowns, grappling, and submissions. Blending the unique styles of various wrestling styles with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, CSW concentrates on both upper and lower body submissions to control the fight on the ground.
​
Our certified instructors teach you how to move fluidly from position to position. You'll also learn how to perform and defend chokes, joint locks, leglocks, and armlocks.
