After the UFC took the world by storm in 1993, people all over the world realized that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was the only system that would give someone a realistic chance against a larger, more athletic opponent. Among those intrigued by the effectiveness of our self-defense system was a group of very high-ranking members of the U.S. Armed Forces. In 1994, they contacted the Gracie family and asked to develop an intensive course based on the most effective techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which would give soldiers maximum hand-to-hand combat effectiveness in the least amount of time. The result was Gracie Combatives, which the US Army names US ARMY COMBATIVES.
The US ARMY COMBATIVES is the foundation of all military combat training and is a school curriculum at the University of Kansas City. All three of our instructors have been certified with this prestigious diploma and are registered with the US ARMY and Kansas City University. No other gym or school in Shanghai has certified instructor of this kind. Being certified and being a professional is of the most importance. After all, you are putting your safety on the line and in the hands of other. So, wouldn’t you like to train with the best Shanghai has to offer?
Our Combative course is an additional program. You must fulfill the requirements in order to receive a diploma. Course requirements and payment may vary because of experience and certification. However this course is open to all levels and usually takes about 16 – 20 hours of training, which is combined over a two or three day time period.
The combative course is not only great for learning self-defense but also a great way to educate yourself using the proper methods of controlling aggressive situations. We recommend this course for all law enforcement and security. When working in situations where things can happen, its safe to protect yourself from physical harm as well as your business’s liability.
