The Western Masters Karate System’s Grappling class offers mixed grappling with skill sets taken from western wrestling, japanese jujutsu, Yoshinkan Aikido, and others. The focus of this class is to teach students an understanding of grappling based attacks and defenses with the understanding that mobility is key to personal protection. Too often today groundfighting is emphasized as an end for violent situations. The problem with this line of thinking is that while on the ground, one is vulnerable to attack from third parties. Here at Western Masters we seek to remedy that by teaching the skills necessary to get off the ground or stay mobile in a self defense situation.
