Stand-Up Grappling Training

In a real fight for survival, it's essential to know how to unbalance your opponent, take them to the ground, and end up in a dominant position. This is the core of stand-up grappling training. At Maximum Armour, our self-defense classes teach you how to do this simply, reliably, and safely, regardless of the opponent's size or the surface you're fighting on.

Our stand-up grappling techniques don't rely on a weight or height advantage. They're designed to work on any surface—slippery tiles, wet floors, snow, or ice—giving you a versatile skill set for your personal protection.

Our Stand-Up Grappling Training Courses

Our training is a comprehensive program broken down into three levels:

Basic Stand-Up Grappling Training

In this foundational course, you'll learn the safest and simplest techniques for stand-up grappling in different positions against an opponent who is also grappling with you.

Intermediate Stand-Up Grappling Training

Here, you will learn how to fight by using stand-up grappling against an opponent who uses hand and leg strikes. This builds on your basic skills and prepares you for more dynamic encounters.

Advanced Stand-Up Grappling Training

In this course, you will learn how to fight using stand-up grappling against armed opponents. This is a vital part of self-defense training for women and men who prefer to travel "light," without weapons.

Important Note: Fighting unarmed against armed opponents is a very bad idea. But if you prefer to travel "light," without weapons, then you must know how to grapple in a standing position in any situation.
