My sessions focus on live 'games' where we use hand-fighting and clinch work to actually off-balance opponents. You aren't learning a sequence, you're learning how to find a finish from any scramble. ### Why static drills fail Most gyms spend hours on 'dead' drills where your partner is a mannequin. In a fight, nobody stands still. My approach treats wrestling as a series of connected problems. Whether you are aiming for a double-leg or recovering from a bad spot, the goal is always the same: control the center of gravity. ### Our Wrestle Jitsu methodology We focus on three core pillars in every session: * **Kuzushi (Off-balancing):** If you cannot break their balance, you cannot throw them. We train this in every round. * **Hand-fighting:** Establishing dominant grips is the difference between a successful takedown and getting stuck in the clinch. * **Wrestle-ups:** Learning to get back to your feet from a bad position is the most essential survival skill in MMA and BJJ. ### What to expect This is a non-AC facility in Bengaluru. It is hot, it is humid, and it is intense. We do not do easy days. You are here to build real grit. If you are looking for a gentle workout where you chat for an hour, this isn't it. If you want to actually learn how to fight, welcome to the tribe. ## About Vighnesh Nathan I'm Vighnesh. I don't believe in teaching moves, I believe in teaching how to fight.
