Submission Arts Wrestling (SAW) [サブミッションアーツレスリング] is a modern Catch Wrestling based Japanese Martial Art and Combat Sport that incorporates elements from Sambo and Judo. Founded in the 1980′s by Hidetaka Aso, a student of Karl Gotch, SAW constitutes a NO-GI grappling system that focuses in forcing ones opponent to submit by employing “chains” of chokes and joint locks.
All Japan Joint Technique Federation
One of the trademarks of SAW are its many variations of devastating leglocks. Like its predecessor, SAW supports the belief that a submission can be obtained by establishing either a position or a hold. The practice of Submission Arts Wrestling relies on solid technical principles, live sparring sessions and specific conditioning.
Technical elements of SAW:
Kumiwaza (to grapple)
Nage (to throw)
Osaekomi (to hold down)
Suīpu (to sweep)
Shime (to strangle)
Kansetsu (to joint lock)
Submission Arts Wrestling is practiced on a wrestling mat (tatami). Being a NO-GI hierarchical art, the practitioners commonly wear a t-shirt or rashguard, shorts or tights and a Japanese belt (obi) of the proper color according to its grading system.
Catch Wrestling is a combat sport and submission martial art mainly developed in England during the second half of the 19th century. It’s also known as CATCH AS CATCH CAN, that can be translated as “By whatever means or in any way possible”.
Powerful take downs, neck cranks, leg locks and punishing rides, are all common in the practice of Catch Wrestling, an art that employs the principles of leverage and body mechanics, along with superior physical conditioning.
