Tiger-Rock Grappling
All ancient cultures had some form of grappling and unarmed fighting techniques.
The Greek culture gave its fighters the greatest financial and social rewards. The
ancient Greeks conquered quite a bit of territory during the time of Alexander the
Great, including the area that Jiu-Jitsu's techniques were said to have come from.
Wrestling did exist in China and Mongolia before Jiu-Jitsu did in Japan, and it
is interesting to note that this is where Native American wrestling most likely
came from by way of migration over the Alaskan Ice Bridge. The pinning and throwing
techniques of Tiger-Rock Grappling are very similar to, and in some cases, the same
as those of Greco Roman Wrestling.
Tiger-Rock Grappling combines ground fighting and grappling moves such as chokeholds
and joint locks to overpower an opponent. Tiger-Rock Grappling can be used for self-defense,
for fitness, and as a sport. It highlights the concept that a student who is both
smaller and weaker can effectively defend themselves against an opponent who is
bigger and stronger.
The Tiger-Rock Grappling Program is an exciting system for both juniors and adults.
Training emphasizes effective teaching methods that promote safe, fun, and defensive
techniques and positioning.
The program is open to all active members (no age limit), although it is required
that each student be a TKD Yellow Belt or above. The program blends the best grappling
systems including American wrestling in a dynamic way to create a challenging ground
program complimentary to our TaeKwonDo program and culture.
