Real world grappling when your life is on the line has to deal with a lot more than what you see in any competition. From weather conditions, to clothing limitations, to environmental factors, concrete, snow, grass, weapons, everyday man made objects, natural objects like a stone, multiple people and the list goes on. What if you wear body armor for work?  Heavy winter clothes or board shorts, flip flops and a t-shirt? Have you ever grappled in it???  Do you roll on concrete or gravel to get a feel for that?  Have you ever grappled in a downpour of rain? If your training does not address all of these factors and more then you are ill prepared for what could happen! We fight like we train and if you train for competitions you are probably a really good competitor but don’t fool yourself because that kind of training doesnt always translate to the real world. In the real world most of the time being on the ground is very, very dangerous! Especially if there are multiple people around… Bottom line, I love watching elite grappling matches but don’t confuse them with the real thing. They are not the same!!!

If your in the know, your in the know!!!

See You On The Streets!!!
