Jiu Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds also found in numerous other arts with or without ground fighting emphasis. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are somewhat negated when grappling on the ground.
At Lightning MMA we like to train Jiu Jitsu without the traditional gi because, although valuable, gi Jiu Jitsu is not as applicable to MMA. Our classes are usually a combination of Jiu Jitsu and wrestling to keep your game well rounded. We also throw in some of Erik Paulsons signature CSW training since most of our instructors have spent a majority of their training being coached and taught by Erik.
