Submission Arts Wrestling

Submission Arts Wrestling (SAW) is a modern Japanese Mixed Martial Art and Combat Sport that incorporates elements from Judo, Jujitsu, Sambo and Catch Wrestling.

SAW was founded in the 1980's by Hidetaka Aso who at the time, was a champion of both wrestling and sambo in Japan and is widely regarded as the master of the science of submissions.

SAW is specialized as a No-Gi grappling art, whilst it is known for its effective takedowns, throws against strikes, and a variety of submission holds. It’s true strength lies in the devastating application of leg locks and its brutal application of techniques.
