What is Grappling?

Grappling is the art of wrestling without strikes, focused on throws, positional control and submissions. Unlike BJJ, it's practiced without a kimono (no-gi), allowing faster and more dynamic movements. It's the perfect discipline to complement MMA and develop functional strength applicable to real combat.

Grappling combines techniques from Greco-Roman wrestling, judo, sambo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu without gi. Training without a kimono, the grip is more direct on the body, making techniques more applicable to real self-defense situations and MMA combat. The pace is more explosive than traditional BJJ, developing exceptional cardiovascular endurance.

At Ryutai Viladecans we teach Grappling under Team Calderón's direction, with instructors specialized in wrestling and MMA. Since 2016, we've been training fighters at Ryutai II with professional methodology, preparing both beginners seeking functional strength and MMA competitors who need to master no-gi ground game in Baix Llobregat.
