About Submission Grappling<\/h2>\n

Submission grappling (also known as submission fighting, submission grappling, sport grappling, or simply as No-Gi) or Combat wrestling (in Japan), is a formula of competition and a general term for martial arts and combat sports that focus on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission using submission holds. The term ‘submission wrestling’ usually refers only to the form of competition and training that does not use a ‘jacket’, ‘gi,’ or ‘combat kimono’, often worn with belts that establish rank by color.<\/p>\n

The sport of submission wrestling brings together techniques from Folk Wrestling (Catch-as-catch-can), Judo, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Ju-Jitsu and Sambo. Submission fighting as an element of a larger sport setting is very common in mixed martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, catch wrestling and others. Submission wrestlers or grapplers usually wear shorts, skin-sticky clothing such as Rash guards, speedos and mixed short clothes so they do not rip off in combat.<\/p>\n

Class structure<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Incorporated in the submission grappling training at Team UCT are techniques used in the \u2018old\u2019 art of Catch wrestling. They are also known for using submission techniques normally banned in other arts or competitions such as heel hooks, toe holds, wrist and finger locks<\/p>\n

Our training method in submission grappling does not stray much from our BJJ training.<\/p>\n

At Team UCT we strive to help students get the most out of their training. For students with consistency and dedication, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling become a life-style and students can readily enjoy all the benefits of the \u2018Gentle Art\u2019.<\/p>\n

Working from the assumption that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu must be embraced as a lifelong journey, we at Team UCT have developed an effective learning plan or program of study that allows for students to naturally progress from the white belt to the black belt. Thus, classes and their respective curriculum at Team UCT are not isolated from one another, but elements of a larger structured learning plan.<\/p>\n

The 5 main elements of the program:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Curriculums: Set of coordinated techniques organized in the best possible way to facilitate students\u2019 learning processes. Divided in blue belt, purple belt, brown belt and black belt curricula.<\/li>\n
  2. Class: The defined period of time during which the student learns the techniques that comprise the curricula using several different training methods or appropriate instructional techniques.<\/li>\n
  3. Training Methods: Specific drills and training practices designed to convert the knowledge represented in the curricula and taught by the instructor into knowledge and skills.<\/li>\n
  4. Minimum Attendance: minimum attendance required from the student so him or her can progress and be updated with the Team UCT Curriculums<\/li>\n
  5. Specialized training: minimum attendance required from the student at technique specific seminars given by specialists.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All Team UCT students have the dream of becoming a black belt. However, this is not an easy goal and a lot of consistency and dedication is required. To fulfill the promise of facilitating students\u2019 learning, Team UCT\u2019s classes are structured logically to keep students motivated to learn, practice and perform.<\/p>\n

    A typical Team UCT student starts with an introductory class, where he or she will learn the overall self-defense strategy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.<\/p>\n

    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art and everyone is capable of learning it and enjoying its many benefits. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has succeeded in improving the life quality, self-esteem, discipline and health of thousands of individuals around the world, as well as building some of the best MMA fighters ever known.<\/p>\n

    Team UCT<\/h3>\n

    The art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is taught at UCT International is strongly influenced by several well known and some lesser known BJJ Submission grappling instructors from around the world. It started all with the Instruction by Cadu Francis. Sifu Benno Wai started his training with him in 2005. Since then he has trained under the likes of Mathieu Peters, Remco van Baardewijk and Vagner Boca. Sifu Benno Wai eventually got his Black Belt after being tested by Remco van Baardewijk from Vagner Boca.<\/p>\n

    Throughout the years of training Sifu Benno Wai and his training partner Pele Nguyen have had great instruction training sessions with the likes of: Marcello Garcia, Joao Miyao, Tiago Barros, Saulo Ribeiro, Marco Barbosa, Vagner Boca, Mauricio Christo, Cadu Francis, Eduardo de Lima and others.<\/p>\n

    Along this way of training Sifu Benno Wai and his team of Instructors keep aiming to improve their technical skills as to pass the information on to their students.<\/p>\n

    Sifu Benno Wai and his Instructors run Team UCT as a very technical, ever evolving BJJ \/ Submission-Grabbling team in a very friendly atmosphere.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

    \n [vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Uniform<\/h2>\n

    The clothing we generally use during the Submission grappling training consists of a Rash-guard and a pair of (MMA) shorts (with underneath if desired a pair of rash guard pants)<\/p>\n

    When desired one can also add some knee braces (protecting the skin) and a mouth-guard.<\/p>\n

    Groin protectors are not allowed during training as they are not allowed with competition either.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Submission Grappling Levels<\/h2>\n

    The levels are the same as with the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You go from a neutral shirt (rash-guard) to respectively blue, purple, brown and eventually black rash-guards.<\/p>\n

    Team UCT Pasport<\/h3>\n

    At UCT International all students receive on becoming a member the UCT Pasport. In this pasport the student can document his or her development in the arts taught at UCT International.<\/p>\n

    The BJJ student can document here his level in BJJ.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1641546852128{padding-top: 15px !important;}” el_class=”sidebarsport”][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sportensidebar”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
