SwiftKick Incorporates Wrestling In Martial Arts Training
At SwiftKick, wrestling’s relevance to core martial arts training is critical. Wrestling has deep historical roots that have been and continue to be part of many martial art styles. Since 1904, wrestling has been a focus sport in the Summer Olympics and continues to grow in popularity in high school and college athletic programs. Our Carlsbad location trains students of all ages to use wrestling techniques in martial arts properly and provides a solid foundation for future involvement in wrestling and other martial arts.
SwiftKick has extracted the most practical wrestling techniques and seamlessly incorporated them into its comprehensive martial arts curriculum. Our unique approach to martial arts training incorporates various skills and movements from wrestling and other styles of the arts, so students become well-rounded in their knowledge, understanding, and abilities. Our state-of-the-art training facility in Carlsbad is designed to allow students to grapple with peers and instructors in a safe and controlled environment.
Wrestling and Grappling
Wrestling is easy to identify in the grappling module of SwiftKick’s training programs in Carlsbad. Styles like Jiu-Jitsu focus on ground fighting, where students learn to get an opponent to the floor and how to overpower them once down on the ground. Wrestling and grappling remove challenges with opponents that have a height and weight advantage. Our Carlsbad instructors train the most relevant wrestling skills to use in real-life scenarios, leveraging these moves and techniques to successfully wrestle an attacker to the ground, which allows a person to defend against someone larger in stature. Learning self-defense skills in Wrestling, Muay Thai, Karate, and Kickboxing provides SwiftKick’s Carlsbad students with many self-defense techniques to protect themselves. Our Carlsbad wrestling training is designed for men, women, children, and adults.
Our wrestling component trains in basic grappling, including takedowns using both the upper and lower body. This skill is developed through exercises and movement specifically designed to enhance skills across other martial arts styles. We offer San Diego County residents the most comprehensive wrestling training as part of a well-rounded martial arts program.
Self-Defense Wrestling Elements in Martial Arts
As with all martial arts styles, self-defense is the most requested skill. Quality martial arts programs, such as the ones offered at Swiftkick in Carlsbad, incorporate valuable skills and techniques from wrestling to provide students with a diverse toolbelt of self-defense options. SwiftKick wants individuals to feel empowered and confident in their abilities, including:
- Having an awareness of surroundings and avoiding potentially dangerous situations.
- Using learned breathing to remain focused and calm in a threatening situation.
- Being confident that a bigger opponent does not determine the outcome.
- Using skills to take an attacker to the ground where size and strength are equalized.
- Effectively use self-defense skills to assess and respond to the threat.
Today, the growing demand for self-defense training reinforces SwiftKick’s focus on training martial arts in a practical way that enables people to grasp and master the skills they seek.
