The focus is on safe grappling techniques that can be done on a daily basis with no more fear of injury than any other contact sport. Each aspect will feature a strength and endurance building warm-up, followed by demonstration and practice of techniques after which athletes will engage in practice sessions with other athletes of their own level. Throughout the week, athletes will be preparing for the Friday afternoon grappling competition. They will be taught how to earn points, be aggressive, defend against and submit an opponent.
