Gracie Combatives

[Toe-Job]

Hi everyone,

I stumbled across this new course, Gracie Combatives - From what ive read, its a course that focuses on the "street" elements of BJJ and not the competition techniques. There are 36 fundamental techniques and after youve completed the course they award a Blue Belt in the combatives program, (im not sure if this is a regualer Blue or it is a different belt system entirely for the combatives program)

Im interested if anyone knows anything about this program, I might be wrong but it seems that this combatives program is trying to put a divide between BJJ and Gracie Juijitsu. Personally I thouight it was the same thing. Shows how much I know!! Also does anyone know what the 36 techniques are.

Not really new: there's been a fair bit of dicussion on the topic already. Unless you mean in the UK, in which I don't think Sacha King has been teaching it here all that long. For further reading, take a look at these threads:
