Hallert and Cragg address grappling instruction from various modalities that start on the feet. Both hold USA Wrestling coaching certifications and actively coach youth wrestlers in the area. Once on the ground, you will not find a better blend of both gi and no gi grappling that addresses the body as a whole; from foot locks to chokes. These ground based concepts are addressed and taught from the arenas of sport, self-defense, and a combatives base.

​

On top of Hallert and Cragg’s grappling resumes, they are both world-renowned combatives instructors and the founders of LEO Tactical Defense Systems which trains first responders and military personnel in the grappling arts.
