Maybe some of you guys can clear something up for me. I understand Grappling as the basic idea of competing against someone using holds and throws, but no strikes. I always thought that rather than being an event in itself, it was more a component of other sports like wrestling, jujitsu, MMA, etc. What exactly are the Grappling World Team Trials. How does "Grappling" differ from those other sports? |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grappling Grappling refers to the gripping, handling, and controlling of an opponent without the use of striking, typically through the application of various grappling holds, choke holds, and counters to various hold attempts. Grappling forms an important part of both ground fighting and standing clinch fighting. Sports that use grappling include Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Judo, Mixed martial arts and Wrestling. FILA uses the term grappling interchangeably with the sport of submission wrestling.[1] Grappling is a mode of fighting used by many different martial arts around the world. It is not a distinct martial art, however, it's similar to striking, a collection of techniques and strategies aimed at defeating an opponent. These can be subdivided into: Throws (as used in Glima, Judo, Jujutsu, Shuai jiao and Sambo). Joint locks (as in Aikido, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Hapkido, Judo, and Malla-yuddha). Pinning Techniques; a victory condition in Wrestling and Judo and as transitional technique in others. Most include all of the above aspects while others focus on one. There is no definite dividing line between the sections as locks may be used in throws and a throw may lead directly to a pin. A possible fourth category is sweeps and escapes, used to improve position in ground fighting either escaping from or moving into a position where a lock or pin may be better applied |

Volkmann will be a big name in this sport, if he chooses to focus on it. His dedication, work ethic, and strength along with his wrestling skills make him a great fighter. Look for him to eventually challenge in the Welterweight class of the UFC. |

Jacob has been training at the Academy for a while now, and he makes me hate myself. Or at least feel sorry for myself. MMAA is the gym where sherk and others (like me) train. It is in Brooklyn Center. Jacob is a Chiropractic Extern right now, but he seems to set his own hours, so he is in to train during the days with the other pro fighters. We're hoping he can find a home with a big organization soon. |

And I knew this, what has me hung up is that: "It is not a distinct martial art, however, it's similar to striking, a collection of techniques and strategies aimed at defeating an opponent. These can be subdivided into:. . ." You cannot have a World Team Trials for something that is not a "distinct martial art", so I am wondering what the nature of the competition at this event was. |

POINTS ARE AWARDED FOR: TAKEDOWN WITH NO DOMINANT CONTROL – 2 POINTS - 2 points will be awarded when one competitor completes their takedown but ends up in a neutral position (in opponents guard or half guard) or when there is a scramble for position on the ground when the takedown occurs (no dominate control). TAKEDOWN TO DOMINANT CONTROL – 3 POINTS - 3 points will be awarded when one competitor completes their takedown and ends up in a position off of the takedown with dominant control. Notes on Takedowns: 1. To determine the takedown, the referee will look to who initiated the takedown and how it ended up. For example, if one competitor shoots, his opponent sprawls, and the sprawling opponent then pulls guard, a takedown is awarded because the initial movement was a takedown attempt. If however a competitor aggressively pulls guard from standing as the initial movement no takedown is awarded. 2. Playing for takedown points will not be rewarded. For example, if a competitor gets a takedown to guard, opens the guard, stands, walks away and disengages the ground fighting he will be given a warning for the first offence. If the same or like scenario occurs again the referee will cease awarding takedown points to this competitor for the remainder of the match. Obviously during the natural progression of a match both competitors may scramble and end up on their feet again; this is normal. What this Note refers to is when one competitor purposely disengages their opponent for the sole purpose of getting the fight back to the standing position in an attempt to rack up points. 3. Points will be awarded for the takedown only. For example; if you take your opponent down directly into the mount position you will be awarded 3 points but will not be awarded an additional 4 points for the mount. To obtain points for the mount it must be because you bettered your position on the ground. _______________________________________________________________________________ GUARD PASS TO DOMINANT CONTROL – 3 POINTS - After passing the opponents legs the competitor must clearly establish a dominant control position. _______________________________________________________________________________ SWEEP – 2 POINTS - A sweep is considered an offensively attempted and completed turnover from the guard or half-guard position. - Escapes will not be considered as a sweep. The following will be considered non-point awarding escapes. For example… a. From bottom mount you bridge into the guard b. From bottom side-mount you bridge and roll your opponent over where you now are on top c. From bottom north-south you bridge and roll your opponent over where you are now on top. - If you make a sweep into mount (like the umpa turnover) or directly to knee on stomach and hold that position for 3 seconds you will be awarded the points for the sweep plus the control position. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOUNT POSITION – 4 POINTS - Must have control with both feet and knees on the ground or clearly be fully mounted on your opponent with dominant control. _______________________________________________________________________________ BACK MOUNT POSITION – 4 POINTS - Must have control with both hooks in or with a fully locked in body triangle. The only exception to this is if your opponent is completely flat, face down on the mat and you are straddled on his back with both knees and feet on the ground. This will be considered dominant control. - You will not be awarded another 4 points for back mount if, for example, you have both hooks in, your opponent removes one hook and then you replace that same hook. There will only be another 4 points awarded for back mount only if there is a complete change of position and then the back mount is achieved again. _______________________________________________________________________________ KNEE ON STOMACH – 2 POINTS - Must have both knees off of the ground. One knee on the stomach, the other completely off the ground to be considered dominant control. - You will not be awarded another 4 points for knee on stomach if, for example you transition from knee on stomach to side-mount and immediately hop back up to knee on stomach in an attempt to rack up points. _______________________________________________________________________________ STRONG SUBMISSION ATTEMPT – 1 POINT - 1 point will be awarded for a strong submission attempt. A submission attempt is considered strong when one or more of the following takes place: a. The opponent takes time to escape b. Once an escape is made the opponent does not instantly move to an attack of his own, but instead assumes a defensive posture. c. The submission attempt is locked in or is nearly locked in properly. d. The defender is in “danger” e. The attempted finish is not a “low percentage” attempt or submission (wrist lock, body scissor, forearm pushing into the neck) |
