Can’t tell the difference between a heel hook and an RNC? Ever been completely clueless when listening to Joe Rogan’s commentary during a UFC event? Always wondering what exactly is going on when the fight hits the ground? Getting your lunch money stolen on a regular basis? Well join the SFU Grappling club and learn a legit form of self defense while making new friends, and getting a great cardio work out all at the same time! Achieve those washboard abs you’ve always wanted and be elevated to Alpha Male status, today!
What we are: a grappling club practicing submission wrestling without a Gi or Kimono and featuring joint locks, submissions and choke holds. Learn from a legitimate JiuJitsu practitioner and an active MMA fighter in a safe learning environment.
You will be able to meet and train with like minded individuals and learn legitimate self defense skills which have been proven effective time and time again in either sport competition (MMA) or in a real life environment. You will get a great cardio workout, gain self confidence and learn the intricacies of grappling: i.e, the guard, guard passing, sweeps, takedowns, submissions (arm bars, triangles, key lock, kimura, RNC, guillotines) and their setups.
What we are not/will not do:
We are not a business nor are we affiliated with any existing gyms. We are purely an SFU based club- by students for students. All costs are just to cover insurance and mat fees. We are students at SFU who have been training BJJ for awhile and want to share BJJ with like minded individuals or meet other practitioners of the art of grappling. SFU does not currently have a grappling /submission wrestling club thus, creating a niche spot for a club like this. This club is open to all current and past students of SFU of all genders and all walks of life.
We do not:
Practice with strikes. This is NOT a MIXED MARTIAL ARTs club, nor is it a derivative of any sort of MMA club (ie. UFC, PRIDE, EliteXC, Dream, K1, Sengoku, KOTC, Affliction etc). While MMA features a ton of submissions, submissions and submission grappling does not automatically equate to MMA. This is purely a GRAPPLING club featuring only submissions and take downs. Again there will never be ANY strikes of any kind (elbows, punches, kicks, knees, head butts), nor will there ever be dirty tactics such as biting, eye gouging, hair pulling, attacking the groin, scratching, shirt pulling, spitting, etc.
There will never, ever be any weapons training or any kind.
