Developed by Light Heavy Weight Shootwrestling Champion Erik Paulson, Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW) incorporates kicking, punching, throwing and submissions. CSW integrates techniques and philosophies from Muay Thai, Savate, Kickboxing, Western Boxing, Judo, Freestyle Wrestling, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Shootwrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo and Catchascatchcan.

CSW includes positions such as the standing clinch, guard, mount and side control. Students will learn to move freely within these ranges and develop effective self-defense skills along with many physical attributes such as flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning and strength.
