SUBMISSION GRAPPLING

Warrior Spirit Martial Arts Academy offers a dynamic blend of NoGi grappling arts through its specialized grappling classes, featuring the techniques and philosophies of Brazilian Luta Livre and Submission Arts Wrestling. Luta Livre is a Brazilian martial art that emphasizes grappling and submission techniques without the restrictions of a gi. It focuses on an array of clinch and ground fighting systems, encapsulating both a freestyle approach and the tradition of catch wrestling.

Submission Arts Wrestling, developed by Hidetaka Aso, incorporates elements of both wrestling and jiu-jitsu, emphasizing effective submission holds and escape techniques. This style is known for its adaptability and fluidity, allowing practitioners to seamlessly transition between standing and ground fighting.

Our classes are led by Stuart Fontaine, a seasoned instructor holding a black belt in both Luta Livre and Submission Arts Wrestling, along with a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With his extensive background and expertise, Stuart focuses on teaching students not only the technical aspects of grappling but also the strategic mindset required to excel in both competitive and self-defense scenarios.

At Warrior Spirit Martial Arts Academy, students can expect to develop a comprehensive understanding of these NoGi grappling arts, enhancing their skills in submissions, positional control, and overall grappling proficiency. Join us to experience a unique and innovative training regimen that combines the best of these martial arts disciplines!
