Introduction
There has been a lot said of late about the art of grappling or,
more specifically, the art of ground fighting. The grappling
arts are enjoying a well-earned and long-awaited revival.
Grappling was in vogue in the early part of this century, a
period known as the Golden Age of Wrestling, but it
popularity waned just before – and probably due to – the
Great War, only to be reborn post-war as ‘show grappling’.
It would seem that grappling has always lain hidden within
the shadow of contemporary combat, probably due to its
unembellished demeanour. Its devastating potency is often
hidden (to the uninitiated) by its lack of obvious aesthetic;
people have been drawn instead to the superfluously
spectacular kicking arts. However, the world of combat, and
more specifically the world of martial arts, has now evolved
and many of the more spectacular systems have failed the
acid test of time and the pressure test of reality. They have
crumbled under the weight of contemporary violence like a
paper house in a hurricane. The prettier systems that originally

drew thousands like summer moths to a flame have balked
at the obstacle of practicality, proving to be little more than
showy glitz. The fundamental movements of the grappling
arts, so often ignored due to the ‘ugly duckling’ syndrome,
have risen above the maelstrom; the swan of real combat
has blossomed leaving the ‘flash’ dead in the water.
Due to the well-publicised rise of the UFC (Ultimate Fight
Competition) – cage fighting, reality combat and extreme
fighting, everybody suddenly wants to fight on the floor, often
to the detriment of all other ranges. I can understand this,
ground grappling has been missing from martial arts for so
long, and the UFC-type tournaments advertise grappling
supremacy so well, it is only natural that people want to fill
their baskets with the ‘missing range’. Suddenly everyone (and
his dog) is desperate to make up for their lack and learn the
art of ground fighting. And so they should. I’ve been trying to
tell people this for the last ten years. Having worked as a
nightclub doorman for nine years I always knew that grappling
was a vital part of the martial armoury. But this is where the
