It is a great sport on its own but also an essential skill set for those actively training ijn MMA as you need to have some floor skills to hold you own.

Class starts with a thorough warm up which ends in a series of drills. Next several positional/submission techniques are usually taught followed by free rolling to hone the techniques and build your game.
